  Death penalty increases violence because murdering the person catching you becomes a way to increase your likelihood of surviving.

    So basically, killing Luigi would not make copycats less likely, but it WOULD make it more likely for copycats to shoot CEOs AND cops?

    Hmm… The killing of Luigi itself would be awful, of course, but the consequences of it sound like a win to me 🤔

      No, the death penalty increasing violence is about incentives.

      If I shoot someone dead and you are the only witness, I have a choice to make. If I do not want to be executed, killing you is the best chance for escaping punishment.

      The more severe the punishment the more desperate one will become to avoid it.

    Death penalty backfires because it demonstrates fear for what this person keeps saying.

      That would make him a martyr. I’m thinking the plan is to lock him up in max for life, then control the media narrative whenever his name comes up again.

    Plans take time. Better wait a few weeks until the CEOs start to relax again
