The Failure Of Logic

[Al Mirpuri]

A man is busy looting a house, in the night, when the householder comes down from his bedroom and confronts him. The householder is armed and a struggle ensues. The burglar kills the householder. The wife and child of the householder come downstairs and stare horrified at the burglar.

This occurs in a US state which executes for felony murder.

What is the logical thing for the burglar to do?

It is to kill both mother and child in order to facilitate his escape and minimize his chance of capture. You cannot be executed twice and once the burglar has killed the householder in the heat of the moment then the coldblooded killing of mother and child becomes a necessity.

So much for logic, you followers of logic.
