Tough question to answer. "Street Justice" is always complex, being outside the "Justice System." A lot of factors come into play.

First, how did the original trial for the murdered parents evolve? Was it Death penalty eligible? Did the prosecutor seek it? Did they get it? And was it subsequently overturned on a technicality resulting in a life sentence for that inmate? If the latter, then I'd lean more likely towards the "Street Justice" in the prison being appropriate. If the death penalty was never "on the table" for that original inmate, then I'd say the "prison justice" resulting in the OG inmate's murder was not "justice" but "vengeance."

As for the serial killer, is his death sentence justified? 'Fraid so. He made the choice to exact "street justice" for the friend of your brother, knowing what price might be paid for it. Some serial killers in his position might consider it a "price they're willing to pay" for that street justice, especially if they perceive that the "justice system" failed them, originally.

Watch this movie: The Star Chamber.. It's about a group of judges that are fed up with a lot of the adjudications they have to administer, knowing that the defendants are guilty as Hell, but are getting off. James B Sikking stars as a parent whose daughter was murdered. But the defendant was acquitted on a technicality and never faced true justice. Sikking's character decided to exact "justice" for himself and for his daughter. And yes, he was caught and faced whatever penalty he did (not sure if it was death), but he states, while in prison, "At least I did something."

As I recall, the robber/murders received life. The serial killer initially received the DP, but was either overturned or the state placed a moritoriam on executions.

The people were upset that Gaskins was put to death for murdering a murderer, but not for the killing of a pregnant lady and her two-year-old, among others. He drowned the toddler in a puddle because he didn't know what to do with him or her after murdering mom.

No one was upset the shooter's brains were splattered by the judicious use of C4.

New Applied Ballistics® Quantum™ APP! - & It's Free!

Does anyone know what the values of the WEZ confidence parameters are supposed to be, actual values or the SD of the values? In particular muzzle velocity?

Watching the video on the AB YouTube channel it says that most of then are SDs rather than actual values, but it doesn't show thi in the app.

I'm playing around with the WEZ and the MV appears like ot should be SD, but playing with inputs vs my recent data from shooting it seems more like it is ES
I used actual MV before I paid attention to the videos... and the WEZ output was nonsensical to me. Then I watched the videos, used SDs, and output was far more reasonable.

My $.02.

I fully understand how he feels but the root issue, the American people, caused this.

If they were not fulfilling a want, they would not exist. They are nothing more than an effect of the root issue. Cure the root issue, all effects disappear.
Thats what I said. You will never cure peoples desire to, one way or another, modify their consciousness, they've been doing it for thousands of years. Legalize it, you cure the problem, at least with the cartels. Now gettig folks to leave it alone is a seperate problem.
