Nobody disagrees with this; but consider. Once, in cop shop, I saw the two-hour confession of the Santa Cruz guy who killed about a dozen women -- after raping and torturing them, then cutting them up and burying diff parts in diff places. I have never seen deader eyes in all my life; he was horrifically scary. Obviously, people need to be protected from this and incarceration would be one way. However, he represents, literally, a fringe psychopathic element.

The U.S. regime, on the other hand, has been directly responsible for the deaths of millions of people in the last fifty years.

Who is more dangerous? Who do we need to worry about restraining first?
