I have been shot. A penknife is no bullet, and no weapon of significance against dozens of police officers armed with handguns.

Yes. I was. With an ice pick, kicked, beaten and left to bleed to death. By two "men" who were unhappy with the contents of my wallet. Luckily for me all this happened within crawling distance of a hospital emergency room or I wouldn't be here today. There ought to be a death penalty for these sorts even when the crime falls short of murder. The reckless disregard for human life and the rights of others exhibited by such individuals justifies treatment similar to that we would use on a rabid dog. Execution is the ultimate deterrent to further conduct like they visited on me. JLA
