  • I like life imprisonment for heinous people specifically because it seems like the less merciful option. Look at how many mass shooters and terrorists also take their own lives during the act - suicide is one of their objectives. If we can capture them alive and make them live in a small room, eating unexciting food and sleeping on thin mattresses for decades still to come - that’s the ultimate rebuke to their ideologies of death. Execution, on the other hand, is giving them what they seek.














  • In regard to the Breen, I would note that Star Trek Adventures: Klingon Core Rulebook says “They only present themselves to non-Breen in full-body suits that hide their identities, and their bodies disintegrate when they die while wearing those suits. While this is an admirable trait – it means Breen cannot be taken prisoner, an attitude in line with the teachings of Kahless – it has made it impossible to determine the true face of the Breen.” This is a pretty cool explanation for how Worf could be right even after Kira and Dukat stole their suits.

    I know STA isn’t canon but I still like this reasoning.
