This really made me angry - you just basically said his victims mean nothing. It's "immoral" to kill him yet perfectly OK for him to place a bomb near an 8 year old to blow up. Unreal.

I never said that it was right of him to do what he did. It is, without a doubt, an atricity without comparisipn. However, for the reasons previously stated, killing him will not help to prevent further such incidents. And in such a case, I do no see how it would be productif, for us as a society, to take his life. What he did is extremely wrong, but I do not see the point of punishment, in general, beyond preventing further evils.


Cool. You're ignoring the possibility of escape, parole, or him murdering other prisoners/prison guards. But they don't matter. We have to do everthing we can to protect him! You're also telling every other would be murderer if you kill a kid don't worry you'll get 3 warm meals a day for the rest of your life.

It's not about prevention - it's about justice. The guy planted a bomb next to an 8 year old. Do you have kids? A younger brother or cousin?
