Murder is it ever justified?

Murder is strictly defined as illegal killing, but it is not exactly unethical killing. Hence, it may be illegal in some places in the world to defend yourself from harm with lethal force, but it may not be ethically gray.

I thinks so also.

Just look at an episode of Dexter.

Been doing that all morning. Awesome show.

Peaked at series two in my opinion, still love it though.

Spoiler:
Doakes' rivalry with Dexter was the best inter-character development I've seen so far--his death really felt like it meant more than anyone else's.

But no episode has been below an 8/10 though.

Agreed on all counts except the genuinely depressing first 2 episodes of last season which bored me shitless.

Mores and emotions vary from person to person, so your mileage may vary as well.

That's a given.

Because they only hand them out to people who they can continually prove will be violent if released... while we hand them out for many crimes, that are not even violent at all, and really have no process by which people can demonstrate they no longer pose a threat.

So what happens every five years when the serial rapist/killer is let out and has to prove that he's still bad? Do the police allow them to rape/kill again before they get the point of "Okay, back in for another five." Five years isn't that long of a time to wait, if you know for certain you'll be able to have your fun at the end of it.

I don't think they actually let them out. They determine it while they are still in jail.

I love the show Justified.
