I know this thread will probably only last ten posts or so, but I had to get it off my chest.

I have no such qualms about the DP. To me it is very simple. As members of society we all enter into a social "contract" with one another. When a member of the group breaks the contract, by doing something like what this waste of skin did, he forfeits the right to live in our society.

Separation from society, by mean of the DP, is the price he pays for his actions.
