The counterargument to that is that there is a nonzero chance of executing an innocent person. At least a person can be compensated for time spent wrongfully imprisoned; no such recourse exists for a person wrongfully executed.

I don’t know, seems reasonable to me. Everyone deserves a chance at life. In some instances, people who have caused an extremely excessive amount of harm to others doesn’t deserve to continue to live.

I’m not even taking sides, just saying I don’t think those two ideas are necessarily conflicting

No. That air/smoke was blown out of state and out over the ocean nearly a week ago when the powerful front with strong surface winds blew through the state last Thursday night into Friday. Today's rain event is Gulf moisture from the south. There is absolutely nothing to worry about. The only detrimental effect could be runoff from the derailment site itself and percolation into groundwater (they literally buried the "burn pit" to repair the track so they could restore east-west rail service as soon as possible, which is fucked because it wasn't properly cleaned. Because, capitalism.)
