Call me an emotional twit if it makes you feel better... but when a person can murder another human being in cold blood with no signs of compassion whatsoever... they deserve nothing less than death.
IMHO.
Isn't that exactly what the death penalty is: someone being killed without compassion? It's just a State employee doing it for money instead of someone off the street.
No, it is punishment. It is both.
Killing someone without compassion as a punishment |

No, but I've seen this Lt Col Grossman talking on the TV. He basically said that playing computer games made you just as effective at killing as US Marine training, but without the self-displine to withold your homicidal urges. My first thought upon hearing those words was 'crackpot'......... |
