though i concede enough experience with such comments to justify being
numbed to them, i still feel a fresh and painful surprise at statements
like yours... notwithstanding your heroic offer to use a baseball bat to
impose the death penalty personally and on a volunteer basis. *i suppose
you would require your "monster" to be strapped to the gurney as you
accomplished your public service, or will you do it while he sleeps?

moral superiority?? *"hypocracy" [sic]?? *...

Jeff If it were just me I would want him down on his knees, head
bowed, arms strapped and blindfolded, in a dry field. On a gurney you
would be smashing his head into the canvass and the gurney would be
easily and needlessly damaged by the bat. Heroic? No, but some people
just need killing.

I would prefer if it were done with lethal injection, electric chair,
gas, hanging, decapitation or firing squad. And I feel that if one
believes in capital punishment for the worse murderers, one should be
willing, if capable, of carrying out the execution. But I recognize
that many people compartmentalize the effects of their choices and
beliefs.

Just curious but how do you think these kinds of murderers should be
prevented from continued killing of other prisoners and guards in
prison during the duration of their "life" sentences? And when they
kill again in prison, what punishment would you favor?
