Yeah, but to end his reign of terror, the simplest way is to kill him, just like Bin Laden.


Let me put it this way, and it may seem strangely paradoxical but: If we were to kill them in the act -- say -- as we caught them, I would be far more okay with that.

The moment we take them into custody, however, it becomes taboo. If in the wild (so to speak), I'm fine with putting a bullet in their head and saying they fought back in extreme cases.

But, with the qualifier: If you catch them, they no longer have the capacity to defend themselves and therefore you must treat them accordingly.

Why is your morality based on ability to defend yourself? A captured psychokiller being killed by injection is *worse* than a harmless innocent Grandma who has a shotgun and died in a fair gunfight during a home invasion? What kind of shite is that?
