A curious, hypothetical question to put forwards to people here after reading something.

If someone you know commits crimes up to the point of murder, how far should the punishment go before they can consider it enough? Would it ever be enough?

Alternatively while I have this thing open; all the coffee tastes the same. Is there truly a difference between the different kinds the stores are offering?

[ Look, it's hard work being stuck in a bathtub as a mermaid sometimes, okay?]

One should definitely consider all the factors, but I don't think death should be ruled out of the equation entirely. Some people are too dangerous to risk even the slightest possibility of their escape, even if it seems as though they've been rendered powerless.

All very good points; it does seem that there are some instances where the crime is similar but the eventual outcome is wildly different.

I’d even say that applies to some who stop short of murder but spend all their time ruining the lives of others for their own gain. There’s basically nothing that will change that sort of person in the long run.
