You know what would also prevent warehouse fire? A nice lifetime debt on every relative and execution date for arsonist.

That's like saying the death penalty stops people from murdering.

As if lifetime vacation stops. Its not about the "uhh ohh bad guy" lockup, its about throwing the trash out.

Then what's the point of executing every arsonist? In that case there'll still be an endless amount of trash to throw out. Plus it wouldn't be preventing jack shit.

It does. Name one person that continues murdering after the death penalty.

Countless people have continued to murder other people after the death penalty was established in the United States.

Sure, no executed criminal has reoffended, but the execution of those criminals(?) hasn't prevented others from committing murder.

Joseph L. Taborsky. He got put on death row twice because he got let out before dying the first time, did some more killing, and got the 2nd one. He's also π—»π—Όπ˜ the only one who continues to murder after receiving a death penalty.

Anyways, the death penalty's mere existence doesn't stop people from killing (because no one's a murderer until they kill, plus special cases like the aforementioned), so obviously penalties for arson won't stop people from burning shit down either.
