Sadly there is something to that statement if the best Chuckie Schumer can do is tout his death penalty law. Whoop-te-do, Chuckie, you will punish the perp AFTER he kills people (and delivers a death blow to our economy). Small problem ... the perp is willing - and plans - to die in the process. There goes your deterrent effect.
It is WAR, you RAT idiots, not a law and order episode.
One could wish that Chuckie Schoooooooooooooooooooomah would have been on that plane. But that would be naughty!
