In this thread we post our most :LIB: takes, and discuss whether that is the logical end point on a given topic or whether we need to lose that last bit of liberalism.

      Well, there's no way to tell if someone is going to murder people until they murder someone, and after they're still nominally free, unless they try to do murders, in which case their chaperone paints them all over the walls and ceiling. There's no bars or fences, but you're still on a "don't hurt people" leash.

        1. The "your first murder is free!" rule is ripe for abuse.
        2. What if the machine fucks up and kills you over something it shouldn't?
        3. The death penalty is bad and should be abolished; this sentences every murderer to a suspended death penalty with a hair trigger.
