I believe very very very strongly in an eye for an eye. If you have the balls to break into someones home, with a gun and shoot a man while he is sleeping with his G/F and child, then I have no damn mercy for you. Would you feel differently if the shooter missed and hit and killed the child?? Sorry but when something like this happens I could give two shits about the law, or the constitution. Just thinking about how all this went down makes me very angry and I feel very sad for ST's child and girlfriend. The child is never going to know her father. Since the shooter can't be put in an alligator pit, or put in front of a firing squad, I hope someone gives him jail justice.

Rules and laws are important. The notion that emotion should dictate our justice system is quite scary. I'll reiterate my previous statement ... people that believe that the law is insignificant are typically hotheaded, are allowing their emotions to cloud their judgment, and being very short-sighted.

Who decides when it is a "clear cut" case that warrants summary execution? Are there are "rules" governing whether it is a clear cut case? Can the "decider's" opinion be appealed? They do things your way in Saudi Arabia, the Sudan, China, Nazi Germany, and Russia. Maybe you think we've got it all wrong and they've got it all right.
