A bit of UK history via Wikipedia on The Gunpowder Plot (when Guy Fawkes tried to blow up The House of Lords).
“The Gunpowder Plot of 1605, in earlier centuries often called the Gunpowder Treason Plot or the Jesuit Treason, was a failed assassination attempt against King James I by a group of provincial English Catholics led by Robert Catesby.
“The plot was revealed to the authorities in an anonymous letter sent to William Parker, 4th Baron Monteagle, on 26 October 1605. During a search of the House of Lords in the evening on 4 November 1605, Fawkes was discovered guarding 36 barrels of gunpowder—enough to reduce the House of Lords to rubble—and arrested. Most of the conspirators fled from London as they learned of the plot’s discovery, trying to enlist support along the way. Several made a stand against the pursuing Sheriff of Worcester and his men at Holbeche House; in the ensuing battle, Catesby was one of those shot and killed. At their trial on 27 January 1606, eight of the survivors, including Fawkes, were convicted and sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered.”
So yeah, England executed the people who tried to blow up Parliament.
We had an insurrection last month where people were calling for the execution of our leaders, (which happened to include the top three politicians in succession to the President) and our country is considering letting one of the insurrectionists go to MEXICO ON VACATION.
Sweet Anerican Jesus. Really.
