Re: Tookie, tookie, tookie... what about the victims?
"Everyone is equal before the law, like it or not."
You twist this to mean that a class of crimes is equivalent in nature, when it really means that everyone has a right to a fair trial.
The consequences of killing the President of the United States versus killing an ordinary joe are so much greater, that if it were possible to impose mulitiple death sentences on the guy killing the President, one should. That is also why one hears of sentences that go on into hundreds of years. Each victim or the brutality of the crime is taken into account.
