Then what is the REASON?


The harsher the penalty the less people are likely to commit crimes. It has been proven TIME and AGAIN

DETERENT, CONSEQUENCES DETER

Look at abortion, - When we legalized abortion, more women went out to get an abortion.

You can't reason that they would have "gotten the abortion anyway" when it was Illegal.

It's a liberal Argument you're making.

You are all making the Left Wing ARGUEMENT with the

"Well they're gonna do it anyway"

What was the reason?

ONLY the shooter can answer.

We can only speculate.

You're making no sense jumping from one issue to another. It's proving pointless to your overall argument. Further, calling someone you disagree with "Liberal" is a lame attempt to hold a debate.

Beyond that. You're arguments are based on statements without facts. That is particularly why I don't agree with your overall argument.

" The harsher the penalty the less people are likely to commit crimes."

Law of diminishing returns. THe victim's judgement in this case was based on the same orientation. She figured the victim would not want to face the penalty, because she did have the limited street smarts to know that some operate that way. Fact is, that most of those are gone and only the dedicated killers are left. That is what Giuliani's crackdown was supposed to have done. What's left is the hardcore.
