Let‘s see if he still calls for that when it’s his turn.
Nah see he only calls for it for "violent crime." Crime by the wealthy, even if it steals more money from people and even kills more people, is a super special kind of crime that doesn't count in the same way.
He is so generous towards the poor, advocating for faster trials and extreme punishment. We've definitely never seen overpolicing lead to any problems there. Nobody has ever got life in prison on a three-strikes law for stealing golf clubs. What the poor definitely do not need is for their bosses to stop engaging in wage theft and for their landlords to stop violating the law. That's not a problem at all.
> is a super special kind of crime that doesn't count in the same way.
Under the current regime, yes. Regimes can change. Rules can change.
I certainly hope for this to happen. My sarcasm is framed as Lonsdale's opinion, where I'm absolutely certain that he doesn't want his friends who steal from people to be hanged. Since they are very special boys.
