You're thinking on an individual level. What happens at a societal level. Crime goes down!

Also, an accident is if a party had fireworks and the fire got out of control. Arson is definitely not an accident if someone dies.

Regarding "people change" argument. I'm not advocating for the death penalty. I'm advocating that we separate non-civil and civil society. If that takes the shape of the next Australia? Sure, then if someone changes, they're not in jail.

I'm also not advocating for someone non-violently stealing bread to be separated from society. Those people can change.

Someone that at one moment of their life decides that someone else's is worthless because they want the contents of a cash register? Remove them from civil society.
