I honestly think that somebody on the street is gonna recognize him and kill him themselves.

I cant say I'd be against that either. I heard on my way to work facebook is reviewing it's "live" option.

I hope so. It should be legal for citizens to kill criminals like this one on sight; for people who know him. There's no doubt at all that he did it. I think it would be an effective deterrent even for people like him.

He called his mom at some point and said she'd never see him again. Not sure if it's true.

Great now the top two threads on the OTB are about suicide. I'm gonna go ahead and stay away from this board for a couple days.

I hope that never happens because, not only would that be a violation of the Constitution (I actually care about the Constitution), that policy could go wrong in so many ways. I know you said "for people who know him", but that standard is vague enough that vigilantes and other wanna-be superheroes would, at some point, use that as a license to kill. Eventually, an innocent person would be killed due to mistaken identity by someone believing they're doing something righteous. It's difficult enough for police to make sure they're going after the right person (they've killed law-abiding citizens during SWAT raids on the wrong home).
The idea of citizens being allowed to do that is frightening. If it ever happens, I hope someone who looks like me never has his photo splashed over television and social media. Someone might try to kill me, thinking they're doing "the right thing".

You can say the same thing about the death penalty as a government punishment for some crimes. Mistakes are made but at what point should that make the punishment inappropriate for the crime?
Some say even one mistake is enough. They also contend that executions are not the deterrent that death penalty supporters claim.
My point is that if deterrence is important, and if the death penalty is to remain a government sanctioned punishment, what stronger message could be sent to a potential murderer than that he could be legally killed and his body turned in for a reward by someone who knows him or to whom he confides his crime. It would logically be incumbent upon the citizen executioner to know that who he is killing is the wanted person.
It's the old "Wanted dead or alive" mentality of the Wild West but are we really all that removed from that time in our history? There are as many guns as people in the U.S., almost no consideration for mental health issues, and a federal government administration that has a "shoot-'em-up" mentality itself.
