This has a long time effect on future crime as well. A fact that liberals try to suppress is that crimes are committed by criminals, not guns, and not poor people. Criminals have the attitude that what's yours is theirs, and if you get in their way they can do whatever they want to you for interfering with their desires. Most criminals start at an early age and continue their chosen profession whenever they're not in prison. Killing one early on probably eliminates a hundred or more future crimes.

“Killing one early on probably eliminates a hundred or more future crimes.”

Very likely much more. Career criminals have been defined as committing 5 or more serious crimes per week. That would translate into thousands of crimes over a career.

Sounds like Occupy Wall Street!
