The
purpose
of
this
article
is
not
to
offend
anyone
but
to
offer
a
forum
where
certin
issues
can
be
addressed.
I
do
not
claim
to
be
an
expert
on
any
of
the
topics,
opting
for
a
common
sense
route
with
some
backup
research.
If
you
wish
to
write
me
a
letter
via
E-mail,
my
address
is
lynchlcnc.bc.ca,
or
you
can
write
in
to
the
paper.
Having
said
that
"Let's
get
Lynched."
Is
it
just
me
or
is
there
a
serious
problem
with
today's
justice
system?
It
appears
that
the
"justice"
has
taken
a
back
seat
to
the
"system".
In
a
world
where
we
all
believe
that
we
are
so
civilized
and
cultured,
it
is
hard
to
believe
that
we
allow
great
wrongs
to
occur
without
proper
vindication.
The
worst
of
these
wrongs
would
be
the
taking
of
another's
life.
Living
amongst
the
human
population
are
killers,
people
who
are
as
dangerous
as
any
predator
found
in
the
wild.
The
human
killer
is
vile
due
to
the
cognitive
ability
he
possesses.
Although
the
nature
of
his
crime
is
known
it
is
disregarded.
When
such
an
animal
is
found
we
restrain
and
lock
them
up,
keeping
society
safe
by
separating
them
from
us.
This
is
not
such
a
bad
idea,
but
here
is
my
question:
If
such
a
beast
exists,
why
should
we
bother
spending
good
money,
and
wasting
valuable
time
on
the
son-of-
a-bitch?
We
pay
for
his
health,
shelter,
entertainment
and
education.
Again,
I
ask
why?!?
Why
don't
we
just
execute
the
murderer?
Some
would
answer,
because
in
taking
his
life
we
become
just
as
bad
as
he
is.
To
this
"two
wrongs
don't
make
a
right"
argument,
I
respond
by
saying
that
we
are
not
evil
for
ending
the
life
of
the
psychopath!
I
say
we
are
just
being
responsible,

Hi
wk
HB1
wk
for
we
do
the
act
without
joy
and
anger,
we
do
it
because
it
must
be
done
in
order
to
protect
the
people
a
serial
killer
terrorizes;
and
in
order
to
stop
wasting
so
much
resources
on
treating
these
dogs
better
than
what
they
deserve!
Another
argument
is
that
if
we
are
to
execute,
who
is
going
to
push
the
button?
You?
I
can
only
answer
in
my
own
subtle
way,
in
a
heartbeat!
You
see,
I
like
the
idea
of
three
people
pushing
the
button!
Three
people
representing
justice
because
it
is
the
nation
which
would
be
deciding,
not
just
one
person
alone.
We,
as
a
society,
have
this
very
wonderful
concept
of
respecting
and
putting
a
value
on
life,
but
these
people
don't.
They
have
no
regard
for
human
life
and
we
will
never
be
able
to
teach
them
otherwise!
Human
garbage
such
as
Clifford
Olson,
infamous
for
his
kidnapping
and
murdering
of
children,
and
Bernardo,
who
back
east
shocked
the
world
with
his
cocksure
attitude
and
good
looks
after
raping
and
killing
women
along
with
his
wife
who
was
an
accomplice,
don't
deserve
any
respect
from
members
of
the
human
race!
By
their
own
despicable
actions,
I
believe,
they
have
given
up
their
rights
as
human
beings,
and
there
should
not
be
any
remorse
felt
when
justice
is
served.
I
wonder
how
many
people
felt
sympathy
for
him?
I
know
I
felt
none,
quite
the
contrary,
I
felt
that
the
right
thing
had
been
done.
The
only
thing
I
did
not
feel
good
about
was
that
justice
was
left
for
another
criminal
to
administer,
that
the
people
could
not
get
together
and
act
in
a
responsible
manner
and
put
the
butcher
down
themselves.
Capital
punishment
is
a
very
serious
form
of
justice
and
obviously
should
not
be
used
without
a
great
amount
of
care.
In
certain
cases
it
is
the
most
viable
solution.
Not
only
because
all
of
the
jails
are
full,
not
only
because
by
keeping
them
alive
it
is
leaching
off
our
own
capital,
but
because
they
don't
have
a
right
to
be
alive.
If
a
person
enjoys
killing
and
lacks
the
ability
to
admire
and
respect
life,
then
that
person
is
not
really
human,
and
therefore
deserves
nothing
more
than
a
decent
execution
and
an
adequate
funeral!
