Oh how I wish America would adopt this. I would love to be on the firing squad. Now that is a job I would look forward to everyday(yes I would work 7 days a week for free). I believe we should have public executions. Put them on Pay-Per-View. Murderers, rapists, child molesters and bankers/wall street people. yes yes

As I've said before generally I'm against the death penalty. Not in this case though. These bankers have devastated the entire globe with their greed and evil. This needs to happen around the world but won't.
Start with the central banks and work our way down. Middle management doesn't need to suffer for the crimes their superiors have committed.
The 2008 global financial crisis and mass lay-offs in its wake might have driven 5,000 more people than expected globally to commit suicide in the following year, according to a study. In 18 countries in the Americas the study covered, 3,500 more people killed themselves than would normally be expected. In 27 European countries, the figure was almost 3,000.
The authors note that this research supports previous data from Europe, where it is estimated that the economic recession is responsible for "1000 excess deaths in the UK alone." They add that among the worst affected economies in Europe, such as Greece, suicides have risen by more than 60% since 2007. "Suicide is a rare outcome of mental illness, but this means that these data are likely the most visible indicator of major depression and anxiety disorders among people living through the financial crisis, as revealed by recent research in Spain and Greece," Dr. Reeves added.

Hey cos look at what I wrote no jail time not they must be executed.
One death over a relationship, compared to thousands of deaths caused by greed? not a good comparison.
You quoted my no jail time and yet you twisted that to I am pushing the death sentence.

If after investigation, trial and conviction of charges they were found guilty, yes I would. Don't ask other what you wouldn't do yourself right?
IMO these criminals are more dangerous, more ruthless and cause more damage on a truly global scale than any simple murderer. If they were all removed from this plane of existence tomorrow I would celebrate humanities good luck.
How about the 6 out of 7 generals who said not to nuke Japan because they were going to surrender....but the president and 1 general said nope..lets nuke Japan to show Russia our force! Should they be killed?

Decimate them, ( the bankers) like the Roman army did, very few of the legions failed to fight and win, or loose and die trying. (Decimation, every tenth man in a legion was beaten to death by his fellow soldiers, mainly for poor showing in battle)
