...while i doubt that the police had much choice but to shoot the guy, i don't see the point in celebrating his death. one of the reasons we don't have capitol punishment in canada is that we believe that killing murderers makes us no better than the murderers.elindso said:He should be gone from the news. We don't need a trial. Thank God.
Clifford Olson, Willie Pickton, and the rest of them should be dead also.
There is a morbid fascination with these sickos. It's hard to explain, but had he lived someone would have shown up at the jail and married him.
It's tough he was bullied and felt different and had a sh*tty life. He blew all that though. He grew up to be dead. And took someones child with him.F*ck him and his problems.
Selfish POS.
...i have some qualms about killing people. i just think we are capable of better than that. at other times, i think i simply ended up on the wrong planet, because killing each other appears to be what earthlings do best.Milkman said:Other than that, I would have NO compunction with throwing the switch on a killer. It's like putting a rabid dog down. Sometimes you have to do it.
...probably, but i'm not sure that we humans, flawed as we are, get to decide who lives and who dies. but i want you to know this isn't about compassion. i want to see somone like paul bernardo live as long as possible and suffer as much as possible. you know, just in case there is no afterlife, and death, in effect, is therefore a (rather undeserved) reward.Milkman said:Well, as much as I tend to be very softhearted I'm of the opinion that once you take a life in the process of committing a crime, yours is forfeit..
...you won't get much of an argument here. we tend to punish the victim and reward the criminal. makes no sense. its not even a political thing, as nothing changes when there is a conservative government in power.Wild Bill said:Gee, I'm so impressed by our justice system today!
