Death has a way of engendering appetite.
Let’s talk about punishment. I believe that putting people in cages and threatening to drop them off cliffs is rather harsh for stealing cake. On the other hand, is it any worse than putting them in a cell and leaving them to rot for 20 years?
Politics aside, I have no problem in extending the hand of mercy to anyone who commits lesser crimes. Just so long as they’re not crimes against me.
