That's a good point Wenin.
"Freedom is a painful thing, because in order for you to have it... you have to allow others to have it as well."

Kind of an "Eye for an Eye" equation or variant of it. I guess we need to draw a line and define where we stand to that line with how much or how far we will let things go. When the line gets crossed do we sit and reason, when that person is not listening? Do we end a life when one is taken? Do we lock someone up for punishment and them give him all his rights? Makes no sense!

Many paths were taken by these pathetic people and maybe we should go back to the beginning to see where all the wrong paths were taken and see if we can prevent this from happening again and again. One ounce of prevention is worth more then a pound of cure.

Hamurabi said it best. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

Morality or not, sexually assaulting and killing little girls and then not even having the cajones to try and take out a police officer or two or face jail should be an insta-slag on the cop's part.

There's sick and then there's sick.

(Also, read Starship Troopers for a good definition of 'morals.')

"Hamurabi said it best. An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. "

Great with that kind of philosphy the world will be filled with blind toothless *******s.

Pretty much, yep. Sooner or later people will smarten up and realize that every action has a reaction.
