In response to:
Jan he did say he was coming at this from a criminal thought process .. thinking like a criminal...
and a criminal would indeed think as ray has suggested, incompassionately ... he does or he/she would not choose to kill at all...
he is smart if not young, but one sometimes has to follow very closely where he is coming from... and that was from a criminal point of view, incompassionate, delusional etc ...
Well thank you for your interpretation of Ray's post but I think I understood what he was saying without your help.
I agree some of the points raised were general, but Ray used the first person singular a number of times, saying he had no problem with advocating the death penalty.
I also believe that Ray would disagree with your assertion, albeit on his behalf, that all killers are without compassion.
As Ray has said before I believe, nothing is black and white, I would include murder in that perception too.
Please excuse my references to you if you are reading this Ray, it's quite rude I know and not something I like doing I'm simply responding to your bosom buddy Al.
