I agree, if a nation is composed of savages, the laws reflect its savagery.

What kind of nation do you prefer? As if I didn't know.

You prefer a nation in which people are beaten to death by thugs in dark little rooms because of crimes they may have committed.

Fortunately, you are not in charge. If you ever are, let me know so I can leave the country.
