Quite a feat, happily offering to pull the trigger and at the same time professing how reluctantly you accept the alleged majority view that one should err on the side of killing to many people. Haha.
I lived in an Arab country for a few years. If you murdered out there, you were executed. If you stole, your hand was chopped off. Brutal? Yes it was. What kind of society did you get in return? One where one could go out at any time day or night and feel completely safe. I rarely locked my flat or my car. The chances of losing my keys exceeded the chances of being robbed. I didn't have an issue with my daughters or my wife being out late at night. They, in all probability, would be safe.
In this country, I once had my car broken into so often, the local garage ran out of locks. Most people lock their doors because they have to. I don't even go out after dark, let alone my wife and daughters. This is the kind of 'life' we have created because we have gone soft on criminals.
OK, I could leave this country, but is that the answer?
You don't need to leave the country. Just move out of the shit neighborhood you live in. For fucks sake, I don't fear going out at night, even in downtown Denver.
