'Billionaire Palantir Co-Founder Pushes Return of Public Hangings as Part of 'Masculine Leadership' Initiative' [View all]
"Venture capitalist Joe Lonsdale, a co-founder of data platform company Palantir, is calling for the return of public hangings as part of a broader push to restore what he describes as 'masculine leadership' to the US."
"In a statement posted on X Friday, Lonsdale said that he supported changing the so-called 'three strikes' anti-crime law to ensure that anyone who is convicted of three violent crimes gets publicly executed, rather than simply sent to prison for life."
“ 'If I’m in charge later, we won’t just have a three strikes law,' he wrote. 'We will quickly try and hang men after three violent crimes. And yes, we will do it in public to deter others.' "
"Lonsdale then added that 'our society needs balance,' and said that 'it’s time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable.' "
