Curling, if someone in my family were killed the way some of the people in Douglas's book were killed, I'd want to nail their balls to a kerosene-soaked stump, light it on fire, hand them a dull knife, and give them the choice of castrating themselves or burning to death. If they chose the former, they'd eat the barrel of a 12-gauge shotgun after about three steps.
This is why laws can't be based on purely subjective criteria. Noone should be expected to decide on a punishment in keeping with the long-term benefit of society after having a loved one tortured, raped, eviscerated, and posed post-mortemly with an umbrella shoved up their vagina.
This is why we have courts of law with pre-determined punishment guidelines and such. This is also why a killer would never be tried in a court whose presiding judge was acquainted or kin to the victim(s).
You picking up what I'm putting down?
