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)

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



If you really want to be truthful about this subject, I do think in some
instances, allowing the victims' family to 'have at 'em', would probably
ease that family far more than years of therapy. Notice, I'm not condoning
it, merely stating what I believe to be true. I'd bet Mark Klaas would
have *healed* more effectively had he been able to 'have at' Davis. JMO.
Same thing with Mark Lunsford, Steve Groene, etc. I could be wrong, but I
really do think, especially with the husbands/fathers of victims like these,
although they would still grieve forever, I'd *guess* their feelings of
helplessness/impotentcy might be abated a bit.
