Hear Hear!
People make mistakes and still have rights no matter what their folly. While ones gut reaction may be death to the perpetrators by any and all means we have to understand that by removing their rights, we remove our rights in the future.
A person who commits a crime should face justice by the legal system then according to that law or set of laws are they dealt with. If you find those laws inadequate then by the very set of rights that offer you the ability to lobby (that you seek to destroy by street justice ironically) should you ask that those laws be changed.
Otherwise we become savages, excepting street justice as the law of the land, where an innocent man may be put to death by the mere allegation or glance. We have already been there America and seen the damage it caused, need we return?
