text: It is true that I believe that we must respect the lives of our fellow citizens.  I have great trouble with your comment "I would gladly have cleaned up the mess if he had followed through on his threat," which you made on this page.  The comment appears to utterly devalue the life of another citizen and in fact you have only the information from the press to support that conclusion.  Sorry, but I believe that crime itself derives directly from the tendency to devalue our fellow citizens.  The man involved may have done many good things in his life.  Yet, you are willing to condone his suicide and clean up the mess based on this one tenuous media report?  No, I am a supporter of rational criminal justice that begins with the assumption of the value of our fellow humans and aims to rationally correct deviations sans revenge or utter devaluation of life.
