You make some good points with your post. I would like to disagree on this point though, because I don't think everyone "deserves" to live just because they are alive. That's like saying abortion should be illegal because a fetus deserves to live. It's an ethical issue that is probably beyond the scope of this thread, and a lot of people won't like it, but: it was a random, preventable death. So are random gun shootings, house fires, regular car accidents. Sorry to sound insensitive, but people die everyday in ways that they absolutely should not. And yet they still do die. It doesn't make this case any worse, IMO, that the agent of death is known afterward to be a person. If this were weather related or something, then we would not be talking about it like weather is the sum of society...just everyone please relax, because this guy'll be going to jail for a while.
