I would like to have that be the case, but I'd have a better chance hitting the perp from afar.

These days suspects have pretty decent protection. They usually have kevlar on. It'll have to be a head shot. I can do that.

I'd never lower myself to their standard. This is not what my wife would want of me or for me.

As for the death penalty it does not deter anything, its barbaric and something people in third world toilets do and the USA as a form of retribution/justice and is applied unevenly across spcio-economic boundaries. The legal standard is only guilty beyond a REASONABLE DOUBT, there is still doubt. Its costly and costs more then keeping someone in prison plus what would you prefer the rest of your life in prison without possibility of parole or dying. If you want it to be as slow and painful as possible then the rest of your life in the brutal prison system would be the way to go.

I am fascinated by the phenomena of false confessions because I have a relative who is in prison for child molestation. He supposedly confessed -- I say supposedly because I have never seen a transcript of the confession so I am not sure what he actually said. But I still seriously doubt his guilt.

What brings a man to confess to something that he did not do?

He had an IQ of only 68. It is thought that he confessed to protect Christie who he believed had killed his wife accidentally during an abortion.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?
