You can't prevent a dead person from doing something, that makes no sense, they're dead. Prevent suggests to stop something from happening, dead people aren't happening.de·ter
verb \di-ˈtər, dē-\
: to cause (someone) to decide not to do something
: to prevent (something) from happening
Are you saying someone who has been executed has not been prevented from committing another crime?![]()
I believe if you make a person dead you have certainly prevented them from doing anything at all from that point on. What you are saying is that if you come at me with a knife and I shoot and kill you, that I have not prevented you from killing me?
But you are trying to explain that to a fucking moron.
good luck with that.
