Default Real tough on crime

Execution is an appropriate sentence for armed robbery.

Should we not have harsher penalties for property theft than for life theft (murder) ?

I hear you when you equate life with property (Life = $$$), which means having the death penalty for both murderers and armed robbers -- but would this send a strong enough capitalist message ?? I doubt it.

Where would we be without property?? Most probably dead. I mean, I hear all the time "I'd be dead without my toaster!", "My father will kill me if I scratch the car!", etc.

So, I suggest, BE TOUGHER ON ARMED ROBBERY : Death penalty for murder; two weeks in MMMMMM's apartment for armed robbery.
