The less chance there is for thinking, the more likely I would be to kill someone. You come into my house with my family home, you die. You attack me on the street, you die. I get drafted into the military and you are the enemy, you die. The more opportunities I have to thnk, the less likely I would want to kill someone. There is no one I now personally that I would want to kill. But my neighbor was attacked by a masked, knife-wielding man during the summer in her garage(she came out ok, just a few small scars on her leg), and if I had come home an hour earlier and encountered him, then I would have attacked and tried to beat him to death. It is a simple fact that anyone who was this premeditated to hurt someone will not even have the opportunity to waste averyone's time with a jury trial. And I would not feel guilty.
