Midchuck, I tend to agree wholeheartedly. What would the topic of this thread be if a law officer had shot and killed Mr McVeigh as he was trying to park his truckbomb. Would we be lynching said officer for undue deadly force, or would we be praising him for saving untold lives? Let McVeigh be a martyr, and lets televise him being blown to pieces by a device similar to the one he constructed, lets just see how bravely he faces the fate that he has subjected others to. When someone else wrongly believes that the senseless slaughter of innocents is the way to achieve their fifteen minutes of fame, they should then be subjected to the same treatment. We as a society have a duty to insure that these people will never be able to repeat their actions. The only way that we can absolutly prevent them from a repeat performance is to become the instrument of their demise.
