If corporations can be people, can people be corporations? If a serial killer incorporates himself, does he become immune to death penalty?
Ijustwantquiet
I want to see chief officers and presidents go to jail for criminal activity under their watch that their policies caused.

I wonder what a corporate execution would be like.

Seizure of all assets and the auctioning off of all holdings. Open sourcing any patents and copyrights held by company.

Death by lethal (capital) injection?

Or you are allowed in an HOV lane with articles of incorporation

Never liked Romney, but I must point out that this was a gross mischaracterization. He was implying that corps are "made up of people too".

Texas may not execute Corporations, but they sure do put quite a few of them on welfare
shinagami091
The entire state is on welfare
sullw214
From blue states, that's a fact.

Downvote all you want. Still true. Time to go our separate ways.

Iirc texas actually makes more money than it uses and gives it to other states

Just not true.

Texas puts several states on welfare.

Filanwizard
If a person does a serious crime the justice system can ruin them. Since we can’t jail a Corp or send one to the needle there is one idea 1/
Filanwizard
Public domain a certain number of their patents or copyrights as the sentence for the offense. Base which ones are picked on the offense
Filanwizard
If their actions cause deaths naturally you public domain a much more valuable patent than something like a fraud charge.
Lybithian
That’s dumb, you can’t execute an inanimate object of capital
Camelspotting
Antitrust laws were supposed to do that. To bad they don't exist anymore.
freckledkink
I'm super mad about the monopoly laws not being enforced anymore. That's one of the reasons we have crappy service for everything again (and
freckledkink
The reason those laws were set up in the first place)
CompletelyUniqueUsername
I think the general idea of an antitrust laws good but they were always applied at random. Same for insider trading.
Camelspotting
Too bad I can't grammar either.
CatsUpvoteTerror
They do. Corporations get dismantled all the time
flarflarf
name the last time a corporation was dismantled for its crimes
ToxicMolluscinity
But do they get executed? Not quite the same thing...

Under very rare circumstances. Most of the time sadly the executives plead ignorance and are given a free pass. There's a diffusion of /1
CatsUpvoteTerror

responsibility within a corporation that protects bad actors. America has always been soft on white collar criminals. We have far too /2

much faith in the free market and keeping hoping they'll be punished by losing market share. When history has shown that's far from reality.

"But he WAS punished!! He only got an $8M payout when he was fired. He would've gotten $62M if he hadn't been fired."

NHs form of execution is still hanging on the books. But we outsource our executions.

Dig into the roots of Bayer, ill apologize now for whatever emotions you have to deal with.

Just as bad (or worse) than Monsanto?

And Texas also has a Express Lane if you commit a Capital Offense in front of 3 or more witnesses.
MistLynx
we have an express lane
nateglen350
Not only does it still stands , we have a express line to the gurney.
connor018
I don’t think they stand for it. Usually they are strapped down to a bed.

Gov Bush told an angry Canada before an execution. If you come to Texas, dont kill anybody. Seems simple enough.

Not only does it stand, but it jumps and cheers. With pom-poms. "FRY THEM! HANG THEM! SHOOT THEM IN THE FACE! LETHAL INJECTIONS GO ON APACE!

9 executions in TX in 2019, but only 1 was probably innocent( Larry Swearingen). So only 11% innocent executions in TX last year.
Mouse314
Yeah no that dude was guilty AF. He had a history of raping women and even attacked his previous victim the same way.
GraveyardWater
Source: Death Penalty Information Center.
Morrigi
What evidence is there that he was innocent, other than his own allegations?
dreamweaver35
And corporations are considered a citizen according to the federal government
Headcase444
I heard they put in an express line.
malachitedragon
Not only does it still stand, for a while they considered putting in an express lane. If more than 3 people saw you do what you did (1/2)
malachitedragon
you don't spend 15 years sitting on death row, you go straight to the front of the line. (2/2)
syntaxxor
Yer damn right...cause if you kill one of us.....we gon kill you back
useafterfree
Hell yeah! Even if they are mentally disabled! Yeehaw! And 4% are innocent! Yippy Kyy yay! And it costs millions more than life in prison!
syntaxxor
DOES IT? Cause last I checked ALL the fucking private prisons with inflated incarcerations make up most of that cost! BUT HEY COOL
useafterfree
Yea it does. And idk what that second part is supposed to mean
syntaxxor
It means you don't know enough on the topic to spout off like a you do. Research private prisons, then sit down.
Phlynch
Kinda? The sentiment is if you're doing something worthy of the death penalty, you're too dangerous to be let loose on the world.
Phlynch
We kill you before you kill even more people.
syntaxxor
Tryingtobehelpful
Not *really*. Its an archaic eye-for-an-eye logic and not based upon public safety or recidivism reasons.
Phlynch
So you're saying you would be perfectly comfortable letting someone who killed a guy over a verbal disagreement back out on the streets?
Phlynch
When you make it clear that you are a present and consistent threat to the lives of those around you, you die so no one else has to.
Tryingtobehelpful
I never said that. I just dont get how the death penalty is better than life in prison as it is both permanent and MORE EXPENSIVE.
RezaQin
And we use it!

ya'll got a fuckin' express line for it

Honest question, if you have private prisons in Texas is your death row run by a private facility? That would seem like a worse idea than
manslut
How barbaric.
bearjew1990
More need to go on. Instead of draining the tax system
Exousa
Its actually more expensive to kill someone than keeping them in prison for life. Lawyers are expensive
ArgonSpark
We wouldn't have to worry about it if murderers would stop killing people.
sverebom
You would have less murderers if human life had more value in your culture.
manslut
Downvote me all you want, killing in retaliation satisfies your monkey brain. Feel free to join civilization any time.
AnythingMuchShorter
In wyoming they haven't even gotten rid of a law that if you catch a cattle rustler on your land you can hang them yourself.
MistLynx
in Texas if you are caught on someone's land with wirecutter they can shoot you without question

In England I think it's still legal to kill an irishman with bow and arrow.

MachoManRandySavage
Why get rid of a perfectly reasonable law?
AnythingMuchShorter
Just off the top of my head, it could be abused. Just call someone you want to kill and ask if they can load up some cattle for you.
whoopsywoo
Uh huh, cattle rustler!
AnythingMuchShorter
Luckily in practice I don't think it would hold up in court to actually use this law. I'm not sure if anyone has in the past 70 years.
deathbysockmonkey
It's not 1880 anymore
Phlynch
So people lost the right to protect their property and livelihoods at some point between now and 1880?
AnythingMuchShorter
I think it's more about the right to a fair trial. Just to give an example, what if your truck breaks down on the highway, you start walking
Ben92
It’s the law in Texas too you are stealing someone’s livelihood as you have the right to protect your property
MildlyConcernedTV
Castle laws aren't to bad
AnythingMuchShorter
It's the lack of a fair trial that would concern me.
guy73378
If you invade a persons home, vehicle, or place of work, showing the intent to cause bodily harm or death, you have forfeited your right
guy73378
To a fair trial until you have surrendered or been rendered unable to cause said harm.

Often championed by those who believe life is somehow less sacred in a jail cell than in an obstetrician's office.
PiGuy314
Tongue-in-cheek aside, a majority of states supporting capital punishment lean Republican. Src: Wikipedia and 2016 election results.
xFiDgetx
Utah still legally can use a firing squad upon request.
IMainReinhardt
So I can just say " I would like to executed by firing squad"? Do I have to commit a crime first?

Then slap an officer across the face with your glove
