Buut my only rejoinder would be, if you're using the 'ultimate deterrent' argument, is there any evidence that it really does put people off committing such crimes? It sounds like it doesn't -you say it's 'a daily occurrence' (hopefully it's not that common) - so surely the threat of being put to death actually isn't making sufficient difference?
Certainly not to a radical it isn't!

"Planned killing is abhorrent to all", yet the death penalty is okay? Not sure how you square that particular circle.
I'm sure you do.

eh? do elaborate*. Do you mean premeditated killing is ok if you're representing the state, but it's bad if anyone else does it. That we just have to accept the logical inconsistency of that?
(*you clearly think it's obvious but you'll have to be more obvious...)

No, I think I have made it quite clear and you know EXACTLY what I mean so please don't try and twist things. I will politely drop out of the discussion now.
