Chapter 1855 – [Presidential Death]

Human rights issues are very complex and difficult. So, there are many things to say about that.

In the past, when the Martian civilization was run, the maximum punishment was deprivation of human rights… But thanks to that, people who ended up like that were treated like livestock and could not complain, and even if they were killed openly on the street, they were not punished for murder. Instead, the opposite was also true, but the person who was punished was not in a state where he could kill others, so there was no problem.

In any case, the punishment of death is intertwined with human rights and has many problems. I just ignore it and let it proceed, but it is an issue that can be tackled if one wants to tackle it.

“What, can’t we just brush up on corruption like we’re doing now and make them shut up?”

“It is perfectly acceptable to say to those who deal with the law, ‘Let’s see how well you have followed the law,’ but I don’t want to use that every time. There will be a backlash if you push that with one tool.”

“Hmm, human politics are complicated.”

“That’s why it’s so annoying.”

I decided to hold a separate discussion meeting with representatives from the Human Rights Commission and the UN. Even though the Human Rights Commission said that, no matter how much support the UN provided, I wonder why they came… I thought I knew the basics.

There are many UN member states, but among them, the permanent members are the ones with the strongest influence. China and Russia collapsed and split, so what remains are the United States, the United Kingdom, and France.

They probably want to put a restraint on Korea’s development and actions and keep them in check. During my inauguration ceremony, he acted like he would give everything, including his liver and gallbladder, but when you see him peeling pumpkin seeds behind his back, you can clearly see that diplomacy between countries is ultimately a political arena.

It’s not an active attack, but if you don’t deal with the first blow properly, you’re bound to get hit from behind. Moreover, it would be bothersome to tackle a serious issue like the death penalty while it is in progress, so it had to be handled well.

Even if it means using violent methods.

“Dad, if you throw your fist first, the opposing public opinion will gain strength, right?”

“Yes, so I have to drive the situation so that public opinion is sympathetic even if I throw a punch.”

“Dad is now a politician…!!!!!”

“Uh huh, you’re not swearing at dad like that!!!!”

I feel bad when I hear politicians. There are so many dirty politicians.

Anyway, the discussion room was quickly created. However, through a request from the other side, it was decided to conduct the broadcast live rather than recorded. If I recorded it, I could edit it to my advantage, but the reason I broadcast it live was because I was scared.

“They probably think that since it will be broadcast live, you will not use force in such a situation.”

“Am I the kind of person who cares about that?”

“It may have been a long time ago, but isn’t he the president now? You can’t imagine that he would beat or kill someone during a live broadcast. It’s actually meaningless to you.”

“Why on earth do these bastards look at me so lightly? No one was angry with the Heavenly Demon, so why only me?”

“Isn’t it because you don’t mess around first as long as you keep the line? That’s why you look easy.”

“… That’s kind of shitty.”

“Moreover, during the presidential election, didn’t you kill or defeat a murderous teacher candidate on the spot?”

“That’s because he was a presidential candidate, so killing him would physically exclude the candidate, so they didn’t do it because they thought he was elected, so they handled it by law…”

Cheonma’s line and my line are different. Just like the leader of the Demonic Cult, the Heavenly Demon shows his ruthless side and rules over the Sun and Moon God Kingdom, but even though I often criticize him, there is a line that I follow.

Of course, if you cross that line, you will end up doing something bigger than the Heavenly Demon, but your boiling point is relatively higher than that of the Heavenly Demon. I think it would be okay if you draw that line from a close distance, like teasing a vicious dog on a leash, but… Whatever, I’ll let you know at this opportunity anyway.

So the debate was held. A discussion meeting with three people including myself, the Human Rights Commission, and the UN representative. There was only one faction supporting the death penalty, while there were two factions supporting the abolition of the death penalty, so the numbers didn’t match, but it didn’t really matter.

Although it is a debate broadcast, it is live and is broadcasted in real time over the Internet, so the number of viewers is not surprising even though it has not started properly yet. I think it’s probably because subscribers flocked to my room.

“Hello, dear citizens. Today, we have prepared a meeting to discuss the existence and abolition of the death penalty. First, the worst president of those who support the death penalty, and then those who are opposed to the death penalty…”

After the host makes a reasonable introduction, he flashes his face on the screen and gets straight to the point. Let the representatives of the Human Rights Commission and the UN speak first.

They must have prepared quite a bit to oppose the death penalty, citing various logics. They knew that if they manipulated me, something would happen, so they attacked me with a straight-forward method, so there was no problem with the logic itself.

“Among the basic human rights, everyone has the right to life. I think no matter how criminal they are, they cannot be put to death for violating that right to life.

“Also, from the state’s perspective, the possibility of rehabilitation and reformation of criminals should not be denied. And excessively harsh punishment may actually lead to a backlash.”

Seeing that the issue of the possibility of executing the wrong person due to a misjudgment was not specifically mentioned, it seemed that there was no doubt about the ability of [Earth’s Bookshelf] Itself. Their logic is straight forward, but it doesn’t work for me.

If it were any other time, I would have heard it. But now that I am the people’s president, I need to serve the majority of the people, right?

Although violent criminals are citizens, other ordinary citizens are more important than such human beings. If you just have a different personality, no matter how you embrace it, you cannot tolerate crime.

“I heard your story well. Before I begin my argument, let me tell you something. First, those who will be sentenced to death are limited to serious criminals who have committed murder or inflicted damage equivalent to that. Even if a criminal has dozens of thefts in his or her past, he or she will be sentenced to that degree. I won’t do that, so I sentence him to death because he has harmed so many people.”

“Such criminals are also people who have the sovereignty of the Republic of Korea. Sovereignty comes from the people, so does the state have the right to deprive the people of their lives?”

“Human rights are also rights that come from social promises made by many humans. There is respect and consideration. But such criminals ignore them and do it for their own pleasure or gain. Then why should we respect it? Is there one?”

“Nevertheless, we must respect it. We are not barbarians. I agree that serious criminals should be punished appropriately, but I am at least against the death penalty itself.”

“In the end, at best, it will only amount to life imprisonment and hard labor. He will rot in prison, but we spend our tax money to feed him, sleep him, and clothe him three times a day. We will only have no freedom, but we will live without worries until we die, but that is not a reasonable punishment.”

“Punishment is suppressing that freedom. As a life sentence, you may not feel freedom for the rest of your life and may end up regretting or repenting for the sins you have committed.”

“In the end, it all depends on how you decide. In fact, it’s like a military place with no seniors who crack joints, executives who do work, and no training, but at that point, you can adapt and live well. If you can spend your time comfortably like that… The victims and others. How do the bereaved families feel?”

The representative of the Human Rights Commission had a bright look in his eyes, as if he had discovered a weakness.

Debate is a forum for logic. In such a place, uncertainty becomes something that the other person can stab. It’s just that the other person doesn’t know that it was a loophole shown on purpose.

“Are you saying that the death penalty is decided based on the feelings of the victim or his or her family?”

“At the very least, we need to pay attention. Victims who suffered damage that will leave them with lifelong trauma, and bereaved families who also lost family members. Just as you think about the human rights of criminals, you should also think about their human rights. I was just thinking simply. The human rights of a single criminal are more important than the human rights of a dead person. Since the number of human rights of victims and their bereaved families is greater, it is obvious who should be considered more important.”

“Human rights are not something that can be judged and concluded based on numbers!!!!!”

“Why? In a democratic society, ultimately, majority rule.”

“…”

The representative of the Human Rights Commission, who was speechless for a moment, immediately retorted, perhaps because he had a tongue in his own right. It is only natural that a person with less than that level of ability would not have been sent to a position like this.

“But that is the will of the victims’ families, not the will of the entire nation.”

“I am now elected as president in a democratic country and exercise their sovereignty on their behalf. And I consider victims and their families more important than the human rights of criminals.”

“Isn’t it different from that? It’s right to care about the victim. But it shouldn’t go in the direction of the death penalty.”

“If we continue like this, the story will become parallel. Let’s change the subject for a moment.”

“Yes?”

I slowly turned my gaze and headed toward the audience. Among them, the person sitting in the front row was a specially prepared guest.

They are none other than the victims of the serial killer and their bereaved families who started this debate. In some ways, they are the people most closely related to the event, and when they heard this news, they all expressed their intention to attend and arranged for Marie.

“The people sitting in the front row of the audience are the victims of the serial killer who will be the first to be executed this time and their bereaved families. He looked them in the eye and said, ‘Criminals also have human rights, so don’t kill them and make them suffer!!!’ “Let’s talk.”

“No…”

It’s not logical at this point, but there’s no problem. Do you think I will fight on the same stage as someone who wasn’t here with pure intentions in the first place?

The victim, who was the only one of the five victims who survived and escaped and was able to catch him, also showed courage and attended. She was a high school girl at the time, but she became an adult in time, and she was glaring at her human rights representative as if she were going to kill him.

If you are opposed to killing the person who ruined your life, you probably want to kill that person.

“… Are you trying to appeal to emotions rather than discussion and logic?”

“Isn’t there a law and artificial intelligence judge for that?”

If you think about it that way, aren’t ordinary human judges imperfect because they give different punishments or sentences depending on their emotions? That’s why I’m trying to introduce Eve, an artificial intelligence judge.

If the perpetrator inflicts injuries that leave the victim with a lifelong disability, the victim may want to kill the perpetrator and wish to be sentenced to death, but that is not why they are sentenced to death. At least there are clear standards.

If we are going to punish people based on their hearts and emotions, why do we have laws in the first place? I simply strengthened the punishment in the existing law. That ended up being the death penalty, but anyway.

I decided to carry out my idea of ​​persuasion (physics), as I was slowly filling up the broadcast space. The most effective and easy way to persuade someone with a conflicting opinion… That is reverse reasoning.

“If you look at the fact that you are siding with criminals and their human rights, it seems like it is because you are unable to stand in the position of a victim. Anyone can become a victim.”

“Huh? What is that…”

“Then why not become a victim? Right now.”

I dragged the representative of the Human Rights Commission with my telekinesis and grabbed him by the collar. And then I punch him and hit him in the face. Wow!!! His head turns with the sound.

I adjusted my strength. Even if I kill him, I have no intention of killing him right away, and at best I plan to beat him up, so he won’t die in one hit, but at least his face will be in so much pain.

“What?! What is this?!”

“From now on, I have to kill you as I please for my own good!!!! Is that okay? Since I am the perpetrator, and you are the victim, you have to think about the human rights of criminals!!!!”

Whoa!!!! Baaaaah!!!!

“Wait a minute!!! Kkuk, kkk!!!!!”

“Even if I beat you to death, I won’t even reflect on you, let alone rehabilitate or reform you!!! I’ll just go home and live comfortably as if nothing happened!!!!”

A beating out of nowhere. However, there is no one to stop them and only the camera is busy working. Although they didn’t say anything, didn’t the broadcasting station at least have a rough guess?

As he continued to beat up the representative of the Human Rights Commission, his face gradually began to get crushed. His flesh explodes and becomes unrecognizable.

“Stop, I did it wrong, wrong. Please…”

“What’s wrong? You have to think about the criminal!!!! Huh? You don’t have to think about the victim, right? Have you finally realized that anyone in the world can be a victim? There’s nothing we can do about it!!! We have to care more about the criminal than the victim!!!!”〈 Br〉

“No, no…”

“Are you angry? It’s too bad!!!! You can’t kill even the most damn criminal!!!! That’s the limit of judiciary in this country!!!!!!”

I was on the verge of fainting and felt like I would die if I hit him just right. I put my clenched hand in front of him and asked him.

It was a clear threat, but it was effective. Because I got the answer I wanted from him.

“Let me ask you one last question. Are you a criminal or a victim?”

“Blood, blood, victims, victims are important.”

“Yes, those who beat and kill people are not worthy. Including me. Do you understand?”

“Yes…”

Eventually, I turned my attention to the UN representative. As soon as his eyes met mine, his body trembled, and he expressed fear.

Oh, I was tired too. Of course, on live broadcast.

Since he is affiliated with the United Nations, he is somewhat ambitious. But that’s not because I’m afraid of what’s going on with that guy, but because I don’t want to see him use that as an excuse to hit me for no reason. Do you avoid poop because it is dirty or because you are afraid?

“Speak well to your juniors. I know you’re a rip-off, so I’m thinking about whether tactical assassination might be the same thing as a meteor.”

“Oh, I understand.”

In Korea, the National Assembly building was blown away and the president, members of the National Assembly, and ministers were all blown away by a meteorite twisted and twisted by the absolute destiny. In short, what I said was an expression of my will to do the same to those who instigated this incident.

Just try again next time.  Let me intervene in the midst of the chaos and show you how it feels to be manipulated.
