The execution of the mass murderer at Ft. Hood.
The execution by firing squad.
The public execution.
Guaranteed instant death.
Guaranteed no messed or botched execution.
Public Crime = Public Execution.
Justice for all to see.
Deterrent to crime—punishment for all to see (whether they watch live or not).
Valid—Biblical execution—by government:
“Submit to all human authority, as those sent by God to punish those who do evil, and praise those who do right.”
Missing part, missing ingredient, also Biblical—swift punishment.
“When the sentence for a crime is not speedily executed, the hearts of men become fully set on doing evil.”
Laborious delays in justice = injustice.
Trial/Re-trial by jury of public opinion.
Trial/Re-trial by jury of prolonged
news media.
Never-ending discussions of every un-imaginable question takes public focus and awareness away from justice for a crime.
REPEAT:
Missing part, the missing ingredient, also Biblical—swift punishment.
“When the sentence for a crime is not speedily executed, the hearts of men become fully set on doing evil.”
