@MrMazda Well that was the marketing - "compassionate early parole for the non-violent".
I am no expert on this but when I say it made my jaw drop, mean that 1) reality is usually diff from marketing and 2) I was seeing reports that many violent had been released, some even terrorizing their previous victims.
But time is limited and I don't care to research it RN so won't provide more. You can win this "point" if you want.
I do want to challenge your sig, about the difference between suicide & martyrdom being just publicity. If we're talking criminals like suicide bombers or the Club Q shooter here, who prob did their crimes for a sense of power & fame (plus the self-destruction), OK fair enough.
But some martyrs are the real deal. That is: some people get tortured or murdered, quite against their wishes & deservings, because some other (evil) people couldn't tolerate their existence.
So the quote only works when you're talking criminals.
