Agreed but this is just another "Tolerance Paradox"
Punishments should fit the crime. I agree Capital Punishment is excessive for the vast majority of crimes committed, like 99.99%.
The Epstein class is a very small number of extremely powerful people who are actively building a world where capital punishment, be it judicial, extra judicial, or a sex crime... is permitted so long as you are part of the wealthy elites.
Simply put, if we do not execute them we are defacto legalizing them because these people already live above the law.
If you'd support the violent overthrow of an oppresive regime by its citizens than you defacto support capital punishment of elites who are above the law.
It's really not though. Tolerance is what we are currently doing: Not arresting and convicting them according to existing law. Justice should be universal and consistent, not special case after special case. I don't want to live in a world where powerful people can sexually assault me without consequence, or where I can be murdered by the state for breaking it's laws. I want restorative justice, I want anyone who is at risk of harming others separated safely from society until they are not, and I want both of these things consistently and without exception.
