One thing I'm definitely proud of my country for is its death penalty stance. No executions took place after the return of democracy in '74

Because I grew up in that Greece - flawed as its justice system may be otherwise - in my mind, democracy is incompatible w the death penalty
-
I want criminals - like the Golden Dawn criminal group - in prison, for the justice & system to work, and humanely. Neutralized, but alive.
-
I don't know if this all seems easy moralizing. What I do know is that I grew up in a society that's not as immersed in the death culture
-
It's not easy. When a terrible crime is committed, it is easy to demand the death penalty. Hard to wait for emotions to subside
-
I'm just offering a personal take on growing up in a society w.o it. Feels like there's less of a stain/obsession, comparatively

yeah, just abolishing the law for parliament immunity would be sorts of enough for starters, + re-tuning for corrupt judges=perfect
