      I wasn’t being serious. Someone like Putin should be in jail.

      I don’t support the death penalty.

        I applaud your moral high ground stance, but it’s worth saying there’s no court that can punish a man like that. They are above the law.

        What’s your idealist’s heart say about what to do about people like that when the system that’s supposed to protect us from them is completely and utterly broken?

        Indeed, having some disconnected powerful authority figure handing out decisions on who should live and who should die is a pretty repulsive concept.
