> *Yes, as Warden and later Master of the Royal Mint (starting in 1696), Sir Isaac Newton aggressively pursued, prosecuted, and secured the hanging of money clippers and counterfeiters. He notably brought down notorious counterfeiter William Chaloner, who was hanged at Tyburn in 1699. Newton's efforts resulted in 28 convictions of forgers.*
Wow. Absolutely fascinating. See what a nation can achieve when its men, bound by blood and creed, can simply do what must be done to protect the body politic? No seeking consensus if hanging the criminals would be "too harsh," or if their "underprivileged" background earns them a free pass, or if enough White men have been punished so as to not disproportionately punish non-White criminals, or whatever bullshit excuse they use to let criminals terrorize us?
