That discards the idea of individual responsibility. That allows blame to be placed on everyone but the person who commited the act. You are right, the death pentalty is a bad solution, but but turning the victimizer into the victim is no better. Since this started with McVeigh I will use him and his mentality as an example. He says that his bombing was an act of war against an oppressive government. That same government that is putting him to death. So now WERE those people in the building responbile? Were they just as guilty of opressing the American people as he was guilty of blowing them up? Or was there a difference in intent? Were they just average workaday citizens trying to live out there lives and he a angry individual who took out that anger on a target of opportunity?
