      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 🤔

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