How could you go from hacking someones head off and holding it up in front of innocent onlookers back to a perfectly normal functioning citizen?
The guy is irreversable IMO.............
I wouldnt have thoughts of being a vigilante if our "justice systems" worked half decently.
You're making blanket statements based on the few cases a year you hear about on TV.

How many thousands of cases every year are handled by our justice system just fine?

If you were being unjustly accused of something, how would you feel knowing there were people who had already judged you and wanted to murder you based on a 3 minute story on the news cast or an article from a newspaper that compressed hours of testimony into a few hundred word?

CP has some pretty strong opinions on Flames beat writers; how much would you like to be told that people wished you were dead if they based their opinions formed from reading Francis or Dowbiggen?

I just think the people who have spent years in training and years in practice will have a much better idea on how to handle these situations than some hillbilly in his pick-up.
