You can't just do IQ tests and round up the people with low scores and punish them for their stupidity.
If the person killed the perp before the cops got there or the cops killed the perp, it would be more efficient all around.
just a couple of bulets cost and not wasting taxpayers crime with a person who was caught in the act.

The cops did not arrive at the scene with the intention of killing the perp. The kicker did.

I am not telling you what you should do.
I am saying what I am going to do should one of those idiots cross my path.
That's the best thing you've said in this entire thread.

Let me ask you this: When The FBI produce a list with the number of murders in the US per year, do you think those numbers are lying? If so, by how much do you think it's realistic to enhance or decrease them?

Psychopathically brutal? Naw, just stupid. He thought he was safe with the popo there.

This idiot didn't need an IQ test. As Bill Engvall would say, "Here's your sign."

Are you saying that every person who can be shown to be stupid ought to be punished for his stupidity? Or only stupid offenders? And an intelligent person who does the same thing is exempt from the punishment, with the defense of "Hey, I'm not stupid"? What, exactly, is the rule that you want to generally apply, with respect to stupidity and punishment?

Stupid offenders often manage to remove themselves from the gene pool soon enough!

Be careful, Jtur. Your posts are being collected as evidence should you ever go rogue and it would be hard to present a viable defense. Please stay out of other people's backyards late at night. We'd miss you. Well, maybe not me, but I'm sure someone here might...

I've been rogue for most of my life. I've been rogue since the little girl next door pointed to the sky and said "Jesus is up there warching us". My god, I was 6. How stupid did she think I was?

There were four questions in the post you responded to and quoted. Were they in a foreign language, and you're still waiting for the translation?

The kicker should have killed him.
As I said, efficient.

Since I was not part of the team collecting the numbers I take it with a grain of salt.
I think if we kill more criminals we will decrease the number of crimes and murders.
I know the politicians waste my tax dollars, and I disagree with that, but I disagree even more with wasting my tax dollars incarcerating some chump who stole, killed, raped, or molested children.

And oh I am quite overjoyed that you have a positive opinion of something I have posted.
Let me go celebrate... lolz

You didn't answer the question though. How big of a salt grain should I, in your opinion calculate into the numbers?

Would you agree that they killed more criminals in the past? Would you also agree that there were more murders per capita in the past? Do you see a correlation between the two?
