So, Dave the Gnome, a murderer should be given two shots at it before he is executed? Did you really mean that? If he/she murders once, he/she gets (I assume) life in Prison (and probably gets out in a few years). If he/she gets out and kills again, excute him/her? Is that your position?

Fionn: If you did not expect some dissenting comments on your thread, perhaps you should have invited only those who agree with your point of view to reply.

No offense intended, Fionn. (even though your remark about me was noted and not particularly appreciated but I do believe in free speech and thought myself).
