OT Gina, "the nature of the crime justifies life in prison without possibility of parole." I don't disagree, as long as we stay consistent. If a single, impassioned politically motivated murder justifies life in prison without parole, then the same would have to apply to almost any premeditated crime, whether the motive was lust (rape/murder), larceny (armed robbery/murder) or political. Clearly, multiple murders at one sitting (the typical convenience store deal), and serial murders would result in the same thing. And even more clearly, the murder of a child by an adult, premeditated, of course, should get the same thing. As much as I think political assassination is evil, I can imagine a slew of worse things (Jeffrey Dahmer comes to mind, Ted Bundy, Timothy McVeigh). Or simply the itinerant handyman who disappears one day with a 5th grader from the local elementary school. Hey, nice rally so far today.

If Sirhan Sirhan took responsibility for his actions he would have to take a bullet through the heart. But then again - an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Hard enough to figure out the markets, much less society. Sharp
