Reminds me of a story of a Chinese general, leading his army to meet up with the Emperor's forces. The general is delayed due to a storm and, when it's apparent they're going to be late, he turns to his second in command. "What's the penalty for not arriving on time?" he asks his second. "Death," the other man responds.
The general thinks this over for a second, and then asks "What's the penalty for rebellion?"
Yeah that's what I was trying to get at. That's why, despite people's emotional tantrums, we don't just throw "Death" as the sentence for rape or molestation or hurting a child. Because if its death for those, then its also death for just killing them and killing them leaves no witnesses so we are incentivizing worse crimes.
They've left execution as basically the only place left for actual insurrection, which means that they have left no actual reason not to do so next time. If sitting at Pelosi's desk to disrespect her gets you fucking solitary, why not shoot her and become an American hero? Punishment is nearly the same regardless, if not arguably a better end.
