And I'm with Bo on the eye-for-an-eye crap. If we as a society believe
that
certain behavior is wrong, then we can't condone it as a punishment for
criminals. We can't rape rapists as punishment, we can't drive a car
into
the family of a drunk driver and we can't kill killers.

Why not? Let the punishment fit the crime. Rape a rapist with a broom
handle until he dies. We should kill killers, preferably the way they
killed their victim. In this case I would advocate concrete overshoes
for the killer, put him chest deep in the water (at low tide)

But this makes you a killer too.

In that case, it is a drowning and the ocean did it The felon earned
his overshoes by his own actions.


Also, it would do good to let the victim's family execute the murderer.


I don't know. While I might WANT to kill someone who hurt my child, I'm not
sure thats a HEALTHY thing to do, or even feel. Grief seems so much
healthier than violence.

Terminating a perp is MUCH healthier than grief. Having the victim's
family do the deed (if they want to) brings closure to a sad event and
future perps will pay attention. OTOH, if you don't want your killer
executed, that should be your right. Just mention it in your will and
set aside a trust fund to feed, house, cloth and guard your murderer for
as long as your money lasts (then he gets a quick termination to save ME
$$)
