[00:00:00]So, cuz you just triggered something.

[00:00:01]No, you you triggered something.

[00:00:03]So, the death penalty. I remember the death I the idea of the death penalty was "Hey, nothing's worth dying over." Oh, there's some things.

[00:00:14]>> My point is, they realized, I'm pretty sure, death penalty is not a deterrent for crime. Right? That's why there's so few states in this American thing that actually have death penalty. Only those Republican, you know, those deep south places have death penalty. So, I guess what I'm saying is this is like death penalty on, you know, light. Not necessarily.

[00:00:36]>> that the idea of someone might be able to fight me, but I still won't die.

[00:00:41]That's going to deter someone. That's If death doesn't stop someone from doing violence, I don't think this is going to do much. But, I don't I don't hate it.

[00:00:49]I'll I'll take it.

[00:00:50]>> I I get where you're saying, but here's my point about it being a potential deterrent.

[00:00:56]That is a deterrent.
