The evidence you ask for is written everywhere in human history. Are you unaware of it?

One purely random example: British rule in India.

Another: Communist rule in China.

There's nothing especially unique about either: Mussolini's Italy, Henry the VIIIth's England, Castro's Cuba, Augustus Caesar's Rome.

Find bland a government that doesn't support his statement!

>> What purpose is achieved by executing criminals that cannot be achieved as well by incarcerating them for life? <<

They have paid the highest possible penalty for their crime. Bland believes there are crimes that merit such a penalty. Pure and simple. That is why he chose the example he chose.

"If this is true, then governments that kill criminals should have more power and authority than those that do not. As has been pointed out, this is not the case."

This statement has nothing at all to do with what bland is saying.
