Don't get me wrong..I'm in favour of the death penalty...BUT..

I say let the courts decide...not you backyard yahoos with a 12 guage..
If by you mean that I should be shot in the back for stealing, absolutely, if anybody ever caught me stealing I would gladly supply the bullets myself.

You're right that the courts should decide, but our "justice" system is an absolute joke. The fact that Mr. Knight is the only individual facing charges really makes me question the current system. I think that the real issue here is that the system has failed to the point that individuals no longer have faith in it and often feel the only real option is to let people walk all over them or else take matters into their own hands.

Obviously in hindsight shooting somebody in the back is a poor decision, but under the circumstances I can hardly say I blame him.
