If the Death Penalty doesn't have a profit motive, and is so obviously barbaric, why do political groups and people in America still rally behind it? Surely there's more to it than most Americans just being blood thirsty monsters, right?

    And even then people get unjustly sentenced to death, like, all the fucking time.

      Oh yeah, death penalty convictions are about skin color and how many lying "expert witness" cranks the prosecutors can find who will swear before god that according to the entrails of this goat (haruspicy) the accused definitely certainly did it.
