If he's as mentally ill as it sounds, he shouldn't be tried at all. He
should be committed.
The chance of being "cured" in an asylum is about as good as being
rehabilitated in prison.
Put him in the chair and tell him it's a ride.
How very revealing...execute the mentally ill.
Why not? Can you say any murderer is actually sane?
I understand you are against the death penalty in all circumstances
but the criminally insane should be at the front of the line. Cull the
herd, hopefully before they can reproduce. Darwin supports my position
on this.
Fortunately, most civilized people disagree.
The test is if the person committing the crime has the mental capacity
to know it's a crime ... or wrong.
OK I'll play. If someone is so mentally damaged that they do not think
killing another person is a crime, why would we want them on the
planet with us? We certainly do not want them influencing anyone else
behavioral or genetically.
That logic suggests anyone with a serious physical disability and is
dependent on others, including the government, for their
welfare should also be "eliminated". Don't need that burden, huh?
BTW ... what makes you think mental illness is hereditary?
He stated behavioral as well as genetic. And yes, I think genetics can
pass on mental illness. Friend is bipolar. His dad was bipolar and
committed suicide early on. His daughter is bipolar. And Gregg stated
killing someone. Not just being mentally incapacitated.
Seems like *everyone* is bipolar now-a-days.
.
So, you and Greg feel that a person who kills someone but is determined
to be insane should just automatically to to the chair ... or lethal injection gurney?
Actually as I told the judge on the last murder 1 jury summons I got. I
can go either way on the death penalty. We really do not have one now.
More likely to die of old age. And I think the last cost estimate to
execute someone in this state is in excess of $4.5 million dollars. At
least put them away for life. And someone killing someone is not
necessarily guilty of an death penalty crime. Lots are. But getting off
because you are insane is insane of society.
And most are ADD not bi-polar. And my mother in law was definitely
bi-,polar. As an aside on bipolar. Lots of bipolar are very functional.
Very successful. Richard Branson for one. My aquintance said probably the
reason he was rich. Mostly on the high end, and bought and sold numerous
companies. As he was always going.
Seems all I hear about now-a-days is kids and young people being
diagnosed with either depression or being bi-polar. Makes me wonder
how many of my (our) generation would have been diagnosed with the
same afflictions had the interest in the subjects been as high as it
is today.
Too many people are living on pills today.
