Re: [at-l] One AT Murderer who wasn't executed...

True, but you do not describe a "sick" person. It is natural for our 
revulsion at their actions to attempt to justify and reassure ourselves by 
labeling sickness when evil is the issue. We hope that we can somehow 
control sickness, and cringe from the power of evil.

Prisons have become a major warehouse for psychiatrically ill, partly as a 
result of the closure of state psychiatric hospitals and the failure to 
provide community based treatment. But the homicides and cruelty you 
describe are simply and pathetically evil. It is also pathetic that the 
legal system could not prevent these actions nor apparently adequately 
punish these felons whom you say are on the street.
