I think we should be just as severe with retaliation for unsuccessful attacks as we are for those that do succeed.

I agree.

I never got the logic of giving less prison time to somebody convicted of “attempted murder” than we do for “murder”.

We should not be rewarding somebody who is evil, just because they are incompetent as well.

I absolutely agree. I have long believed that someone who attempts murder should not get off just because a trauma surgeon is able to save the life of his victim. Also due to the ability modern trauma surgeons to save lives, many of the intended murder victims are left with serious disabilities and paralysis. I especially think anyone who attempts murder of elected office holders should be given the death penalty.
