Shame on who ? I'm French and by no way I support this. There is still death penalty on some US states but I'm not shaming every US citizens. There is only 15 towns concerned by this ban, that's not representative
Thanks for the comment. I should have said shame on those who wrote and passed these laws, and those who in those 15 towns don't speak out against the laws.
I also agree about the USA death penalty, and I would not be surprised if a majority of Americans are also against it. Our laws very often do not reflect majority public opinion.
I can't speak for the OP, but in my experience when people say something like this, they are generally referring to the government and the people who support such things, with the understanding that with any sort of collective abbreviation like this, there is an understanding that not everyone included in that group was involved with or supports such rules.
I agree and pretty sure that was OP POV but that's the same as saying shame on Muslim because of IS attacks. Including a much larger population just because of a single shared characteristic like citizenship or religion is IMHO not a good thing.
I felt accused by OP even if he didn't intended to
