All I was trying to say is giving two severities of crimes the same consequence is going to kill any incentive to de-escalate the situation. I don't quite understand the response either. Maybe I could've served to word things better.

I honestly feel like your response is highly uncalled for, all things considered. I just wanted to provide a bit of perspective on what is clearly a very emotionally charged stance and here you are, contributing nothing more than insults.

Especially so when you've quashed any chance they'll turn back if they have a change of heart.

"Oh shit I missed my shot. Welp, since there's no difference in punishment I might as well keep trying till I get the kill."
