Trolling is posting with the intention to elicit a negative reaction. Sarcasm is still allowed, friend.

Put you on a plane home, lose all assets in america, and can't ever re-enter under penalty of death. Deterrent enough.

Also, while you rob murder and so on you can easily get killed by police in action, it's not a license to do crimes lol.

Quite insane to prefer spending 40k/year/person

It is idiotic to think that is a deterrent. Basically the same as happens to homegrown criminals, except without the prison time.

If I'm a drug dealer or a forger or a bank robber or whatever, I just go to the US, make my money, stash it abroad or in crypto or in cash under my friend's sofa, and if I get busted they just put me on a plane home and wave bye bye. ****ing genius bro, we should put you in charge of nationwide crime prevention.

Italians and political power is a dangerous combination.

Summing up a position that wants to set free half of the prison population with "executing and deporting" is trolling.

Aside from the fact that this requires your home country to allow you to be free (not a given at all), home criminals aren't exiled nor all their assets automatically sequestered if they are guilty of a crime so i don't understand your objection.

If you are a career criminal you are already acting under the assumption that you won't be caught. Prison time isn't deterring you

Maybe if you don't like people mocking your ideas, come up with better ideas instead of crying to the authorities?

So am i allowed to claim poster X has an idea (completly different from what he wrote) and make fun of that?

I was banned when i attempted irony with that poster so i don't see why he should be allowed to warp what i write and make fun of something i didn't write. If the rules apply to me they must apply to others as well.

I would prefer no censorship but if i am censored, people who pick fights with me should be as well.


It's like entrapment if you post something absurd and then complain to the mods when people laugh at your idea. I have been entrapped.


Luciom, if you do not have thick enough skin for potentially negative feedback, then you should not create threads like this.

Toughen up, buttercup. I’m letting you keep this open. 😀


In Germany we dont even have a constitution.

You obviously haven't heard much about the draconian civil and criminal forfeiture statutes that are even discussed on this forum occasionally in the context of civil forfeiture. Homegrown criminals have their assets seized all the time if they are even 6 degrees of separation away from a crime (usually drug dealing).

Honestly, it's a remarkably stupid idea. Name one country in the world that deports criminals instead of sentencing them to a term of imprisonment for crimes committed in their jurisdiction.

Pretty fine line there between sarcasm and mischaracterizing people and their posts with excessive hyperbole.

I don't think that's true given your own ministry of the interior calls the basic laws Germany constitution

Damn, just like button. The entrapment is out of control round here.

Well yeas and no, Grundgesetzt aka "basic law" serves as consitution but it was created under supervision from Allied powers and was never ratified by the people.

Also, which countries are going to cheerfully accept the zillions of prisoners we're going to be dumping? We just going to bus them all to Mexico and that's going to work out?

Well, the prisoners in question are going to get deported at the end of their sentences anyway. Luciom is suggesting deporting them instead of serving any sentence.

Amen brother.

The countries those people are citizens of, same as when you deport illegal immigrants, something that already happens regularly.

And it's not zillions, it's around 20k in federal prison right now as per link.

An order of magnitude more than that in state prisons, btw. And yes, they are regularly deported. I was one of them. Would have been lovely if I could just have got on a plane instead of having to sit in jail for a year first.

Yes, but the sentence stays for their home country, if they decide to give it value (their choice, i could care less).

In many/most cases their home country won't treat them lightly.

The US fights other countries for extradition of drug kingpins like Escobar and El Chapo just so they can lock them up. Under your system, not only would they not be trying to extradite them, but if they managed to catch them on US soil, they'd try them, convict them, then send them back to Colombia or Mexico, right?

Pretty sure most people in US prisons are US citizens? Do they get summary executions?

Also, I assume we're going to have to get rid of pesky things like appeals and legal review of all these death sentences. We talking like summary executions for these guys?
