Amen Ted. He couldn't have gotten it more right.
I'm reading a book right now called "The Stranger Beside Me". It's about a woman who knew Ted Bundy from the time he was a young man. So far it's no so much focused on the crimes, but on him and his victimology. She also talks about the young women (that are the ages of his victims) that write to her expressing their love and heart sickness at his death... she gets letter from all over the world, but especially Italy. If any of you were in on the Amanda Knox thread discussing Italy's criminal justice system, that should give you pause. They have some weirdness going on over there. But I digress...
She was asked, "Don't you think he should have gotten life in prison so that he could be studied?" She emphatically says
NO! He is far to good at escaping and if he got out again people would die. He escaped from prison at least twice.
Without capital punishment, the libnuts would parole him, and take your guns away so you are unable to defend yourself against animals like him. Fuck them.
