It doesn't get any sicker then this.

Right Dave. I'll indulge you; we should punish people for doing evil things, but how can we punish people who don't know what they're doing? They belong in psychiatric institutions, we can't apply the same standards for people who know what they're doing and people who haven't a clue. A person may commit evil, but how can you punish him when he haven't got the faintest idea of what they're doing? Are we to punish them purely out of malice and vengeance?

There is a reason we have prisons, and there is also a reason why we have institutions for psychiatric patients. But hey, if you want to spend your life foaming, be my guest. As long as you have no way of influencing the society I live in, I don't care.

note: this may not apply to this particular case anymore....

I disagree.

He falls into one of two categories:

• Sane - therefore evil, and deserving of retribution
• Insane. The damaged goods needs to be disposed of.

I'd not be overly fussed about giving the injection if required. I'd be doing more for the good of society than I do most days.
