Splitting hairs Bern and you know it. To bracket 'murder' in the same group as 'walk, cook and cut' demostrates a thought process that is more likely to end up on 'News at 10' with a tragic outcome, than either executing or banging up dangerous offenders.
What you are trying to do is laudible but at the end of the day, it is the innocent who pay the price. That cannot/should not be acceptable and to me, it isn't. I have no issue whatsoever with the rehabilitation of petty crooks and those who have committed minor, but imprisonable misdemeanours. But murderers? Why are they even allowed out on the streets? Their victim doesn't have that luxury!
I suspect we're going to lock horns on this, but I'll still buy you a pint when we meet.
