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.



You aren't advocating justice; you describe revenge as a suitable
punishment. Not unlike countries where thieves are punished by
getting their hands chopped off.

It's revenge if you do it on your own. If done under the legal system
it's punishmment (or prevention, depending on your view)
