Sane ,insane it doesn't matter. If they commit murder they give up their right to live. Execute everyone that commits murder. No second chances.
great...let's start with big oil, the health insurance industry, and weapons manufacturers....that ought to cover a huge number of mass murderer's.
see his ridiculous you talk? some guy gets into a bar fight, ends up knocking another guy into the corner of the bar and he dies....a man walks in on his wife cheating on him...kills them both in a fit of pain and rage....guy has one too many and drives drunk...gets into an ACCIDENT and kills someone.
there are plenty of other scenarios that one could think of....you're saying kill them all? Not saying they shouldn't be punished...but certainly not death. Even in this case...no one sane shoots up a movie theater....the dude was fucked up and the system failed him and the town of Aurora.
one area I have mixed emotions on are crimes of greed. Contract killers, people bumping off others for insurance money...etc. That's some cold blooded shit...premeditated, scheming and calculated.
Steel the problem with your arguement is we're talking about FIRST DEGREE murder, the wife cheating and bar fights are usually not classified as such, those are usually second degree murder. we're talking about FIRST degree, you know the contract killers, bumping people off for any reason (premeditated), commiting murder during a crime like: rape/murder or robbery/murder, those are first degree and those people are useless. The coming home and your wife's cheating on you, well that shouldnt go unpunished, but I have alot more leniency for that than I do first degree.
sorry dude...the crazies get a pass from me too. You're right about the murderer while committing a crime though.
I'll tell you what...let's compromise....let's allow the States to make that decision.
