"Killing for good...right or wrong?"

Do you think it is right to kill someone who has done wrong in their life? I'm not talking about the death penalty or the Military, I mean just a normal person like you or me going out and killing drug-dealers, pimps, terrorists etc.

I believe this is right, I feel that people should be punished for what they do in life. Some people just deserve to die.

i am currently writing a book on this subject but have any of you considered that your grandparents probably killed germans without even thinking during ww2. you would be suprised what we are capable of when we are authorised to do so

I could live (or die) with that.

He without sin cast the first stone.

We all do things wrong so therefore all deserve to die.

I dont think we have the right to judge what others do when we do wrong ourselves.

I've always had an unshared loved for pimps myself, so they can live.

Pimps aren't bad people, they bring pleasure to a lot of sad and lonely men. They're the santa clauses of the vice world.

The shooting your wife thing for any affair is insane.

The killing the killer-husband via capital punishment is more appropriate (but only slightly) if a) it's gone through courts and b) affair vs murder.. you can see which deserves what sentence.

I must admit, however, I'm not a huge fan of capital punishment as it stands. Indeed; let em rot.

Ok, say someone shot his wife for having an affair then someone would shoot him for taking such an extreme action.

(This method would eventually wipe out the human race, but who cares?)

I'm not really meaning police as in in the heat of the moment situations with officers when I say Government forces, but proper forces and sections which deal with capital punishment after a criminal has been convicted and gone through the judicial system. So in the way I mean, the idea of civilian against civilian is way different to criminal and cpaital punishment. The inevitable end (death) is the same, but there is (I would hope) a fairer and more just process behind it.

Also, I've been relating capital punishment to America but in the UK we couldn't do what is being suggested; UK gun laws are a lot tougher than USA.

Finally, indeed the media outrage would be insane. Imagine if a drunk Geordie had the power to kill someone who did what he saw in his eyes as wrong. Great, you might think; but 'wrong' is defined different by everyone, and the severity of acts classed as wrong is also judged differently. Wife had an affair? She's done wrong, must be punished : let's shoot her. Why? Because we can. Ridiculous.

Dying's too good for them. All it means is they're not around anymore, what good is that?

Lock 'em up in dank, in-humane cells with barely enough food. Make them suffer.

What? Why are you looking at me like that? What?!
