Has the death sentence been a deterrent for any crime?

Singapore kills drug dealers which is a bit scary.

I hope that city gets an asteroid.

You should get a bullet for "state murders in Asia" and wishing Singapore an asteroid for punishing billionaire leeches. Evil piece of shit.

Tin pot dictator states get the asteroid. Quick before the authoritarianisn disease spreads.

No it's a big show for statists to show how strong and dominating they are. It's not about your lowly practical concerns. It doesn't even matter of they kill the right one. As long as blood is spilled. The anger of the masses will be sated for a little while and all will know there is no escape from the violence of the state.
