[null and void]

Yep. But no one has the expectation that I would act professionally. I have sworn no oath to uphold the law of the land, nor am I being paid to uphold the law.

Even then given any chance I would far prefer that the murderous bastard be tried, convicted and die on death row.

What term exactly would you use to describe it if I pre-planned with a bunch of colleagues, burning down a house with the explicit intent to kill someone inside without giving any quarter or chance of arrest?

Would the term be different if I were a cop? A soldier?

Why?

[dragnet2]

The multiple murderer broadcasted to the world he wouldn't be taken alive and would take out as many cops as he possibly could and continued making good on his own statements during the shootout in the Big Bear area, and continued killing people....

While the shootout was on going they lobe in gas in an effort to force the murderer to come out to end it. The place catches fire and burns.

What kind of ending were you looking for?
