I agree with the 'eye for an eye' statement. But in certain situations logic and reason go out the window and you become a creature of instinct. My older brother was killed 3 years ago buy a drunk driver who swerved across the street and hit him while he was cycling home. After the accident they both got taken to the same hospital which is where I met him. Needless to say I wasn't thinking logically and proceeded on beating the shit out of him. I would of killed him if I wasn't restrained. Looking back I know (kinda) it was not the right thing to do but at the time emotion, adrenalin etc took over. My point is that under certain circumstances we all lose control and do things we are not proud of. Punishment should be equal to the crime and personally i think deportation is excessive.
