I think we could (should?) all agree with Mick, who put it so well. But... if this guy hadn't gone down, the bleeding hearts would have let him out of jail and put him on a soap box, eventually. And I can't agree with that.

Maybe if "life" was actually "final"... look at the Canadian system, where victim's families and others have to go, sometimes at great expense, to parole hearings to keep murdering scum in jail a few years longer. (No, not Karla. BTW, why is she out?) There's a piece a shit living just up the road from me that shoulda died for what he did... but he got life... served twenty-five years. He woulda been out in twenty if the victims families had not objected at the hearings... every year for four years. A cold-blooded executioner of two policemen during a kidnapping. He is doing well now, so all can rest easy, except the two families he destroyed.

After a couple of elderly friends of mine, country and folk performers BTW, were chopped up last year (one beheaded), I began to favour the death penalty again. But hey, that would be murder, right? Fuckin right. Pass me the sword he used on my friends.
