bullshit. most people espousing the 'string em up and shoot em down' line are saying so in response to what they (or at least what the police should do) to kids on the street. it's fucking sickening.

everything else is mere posturing.

can't help but think you might be being a bit naive, this is the Internet. emotions are running high and this response is pretty much typical. I wouldn't read into it too much.
