According to whom?  You and your Wild West mentality?  Sorry, Mort, you have no idea whether that "criminal" you're about to shoot and kill might not be the next Einstein or Pasteur who has been driven to crime by desperation.   Why not simply capture them and hand them over to the Police for the judicial system to judge them?

The retarded hoplophobe showing his idiocy again, must be another slow day in your forum bwian.

The Homicide rate was lower in the Wild West days.

I come from a nation which disproves your point, Mort. Australia was founded on the basis of the possibility of reforming criminals and it basically worked.   Try again.

Ah, you're such a romantic, Mort.   

In reality the overwhelming majority of Convicts transported to Australia were recidivists.   As the main punishments were either death, confinement to the Hulks or transportation, I rather think that most of the Convicts came off pretty well, being sent to here, Mort.   As a friend who had recently migrated to Oz from Ireland at the height of the GFC said, he now realised why so few people ever went back from downunder.   The climate, the people, the food, the booze, all wonders of delight.   Australia is the best example of reform that I know of, Mort.  Crime is low, the living is easy and we have the best beaches in the world.   Admittedly, you need to get used to the wildlife.
