So... basically you agree then, that if a mentally ill person commits a crime they should receive the same punishment (assuming hanging/shooting was normal) that a mentally fit person would committing the same crime. Seems a bit wierd.

Well I sure as hell dont think they should get off scott free. I think the mental illness card gets played too much in court.
I mean this guy cut someones head off and paraded around on a bus for christ sake.....he should not be free to walk the streets again because he poses a risk to others. Who knows when a guy like that could just up and snap again.
