Just for some perspective, China has a very oppressive communist government, has something like 1.6-1.7 billion people, and only has something like 1.2 million prisoners. United States by contrast only has 310-320 million people and imprisons 2.3 million or so people.
In China, they just kill you instead.
"Watchdog groups believe that actual execution numbers greatly exceed officially recorded executions; in 2009, the Dui Hua Foundation estimated that 5,000 people were executed in China — far more than all other nations combined.[2] The precise number of executions is regarded as a state secret."
In the US, it's more like 50 deaths/year.
50 per year you say?
I was under the impression that NYC police alone execute close to that number per year.
Heck Obama's personal kill list is longer than 50 right?
Just wondering if you included people like Chavis Carter or Abdulrahman al-Awlaki in the list?
Oh and of course, yes the precise number in the US is also regarded as a state secret:
http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v04/n772/a05.htmlIf you include people who were so retarded as to be born in other places like Iraq, this number might get just a tad bit higher than the 5000 you quote from china.
But looking carefully yes, these people all were alleged criminals, allegedly black, allegedly poor, allegedly terrorists, or allegedly jewish.. so yeah they had it coming to 'em right? After all if you can't kill innocent women and children after labelling them terrorists or drug dealers, you can't really call yourselves a civilized nation can you?
