That's a pretty intelligent response Keylegal. Nobody said anything about shooting anyone in the head but you. The thread I'm reading talks about prosecuting a person who was caught on videotape stealing. So I would take your advice on your first 2 suggestions: Arrest the thief and put the thief into a police car. I would assume the law should take care of the rest. Meanwhile, no, I have no compassion.
In some states your third suggestion is known as the death penalty...so someone beat you to the punch. Unfortunately we don't have the "shoot them in the head" form of punishment. However, if someone beats, rapes and/or molests your daughter, mother, wife or some other significant other, you're right, they should be allowed chances for repeat offenses. Maybe they'll get it right the second time around, huh? Sorry, I forgot, where you live, your daughter and wife may possibly be the same person. That's like a 2 for 1 sale.
I don't see how it would be a problem for there to be no one left in Poplar Bluff, MO. Nobody knew you existed in the first place. Get lost. Oh, sorry, you already are.
