Death penalties should be public but not as a deterent but because nobody in a country that has capital punishment should be allowed to just ignore what their government is doing. So many people support capital punishment right now only because it happens “elsewhere” and they don’t have to see it. Nah, if you’re going to have capital punishment then everyone should feel bad about it and nobody should be allowed the luxury of just pretending that it isn’t happening.

Just as an addendum, I think cop violence resulting in death should also count as a state execution, not just a death penalty imposed by a court
