You have to be more specific about the exact situation. Who said it? Were they the first? Did they get the idea from elsewhere? Did they have a reason to say that because of me? Did the person who did the crime plan on doing it anyway beforehand? Did the killer have a reason to do so because of me? Did the killer get anything else out of it, like money, and from who exactly? How many times has the killer committed a crime? Etc.

I don't necessarily think every single situation should fall under the exact same conclusion.

Lol, so you actually have to ask all of these questions in your mind in order to believe the person asking someone to kill your kids merits the same punishment.  You mean you care if the person had a reason or if you stepped on his foot in a line or if the person who did the crime was thinking of doing it anyway.  I believe we do not need to continue this conversation because I believe you are jerking my chain.  

I will give you my personal opinion.  If someone ask another person to kill my kids, I do not care what the motivation of that person, they would be equal in my eyes to the person committing the crime.

Yes, because if you wronged the person who's putting out the hit on your kids, because let's say you already took out their kids for whatever reason, then how can you say they would be at the same level of fault? What if the person who performed the act, was indebted to them indirectly and their own kids lives were on the line if they didn't do it?

I don't disagree that when it becomes extremely personal it's not as easy to see things the same way in many cases, but the context most certainly matters as well.
