Penal Code Revision Needed for Attempted Homicide

One admirable new non-profit group I would like to see established---a group I would like to myself someday join as a dues-paying member ----is one that promotes revision of the law to authorize court-ordered capital punishment of individuals convicted of the deplorable, unconscionable, and heinous crime of attempted homicide.

That proposed new non-profit group could, among other things, confer annual awards praising law-abiding champions of the great cause of court-ordered capital punishment for the barbarous crime of attempted homicide.

The proposed new civic group could also sponsor annual awards praising any and all foreign nations maintaining current diplomatic relations with the United States during that period, that do, in fact, impose a court-ordered death penalty on cited individuals who were each convicted in a court of law in that foreign nation of having committed the barbarous crime of attempted homicide in that same nation.

It is crucial for the integrity of American society that a zero-tolerance policy toward both homicide and attempted homicide be implemented as soon as possible.

The crime-deterrence benefit to American society from the proposed revision of the law to authorize capital punishment of persons convicted of attempted homicide in a court of law, will be very significant.

I am very confident that the level of civility and obedience of the law throughout the United States will be significantly enhanced through that proposed revision of the penal code in each state.

At present, our government and our media all too often ignore, or fail to acknowledge the gravity of, attempted homicide cases.

Attempted homicides in the United States are often flippantly dismissed ---and even romanticized --- by our government, by our news media, by Hollywood movie and television scriptwriters, and by American popular culture, as:

---"minor";
---"the work of a novice, which always reminds me of the famous saying, 'If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try again!'";
---"proof that he's an amateur, since a pro would have done it without a hitch";
---"inconsequential, since no dead body resulted from that crime";
---"no harm done, since the victim is still breathing, isn't he?";
---"a classic case of 'You can't blame a guy for trying'," as many wags of today habitually put it a cynical manner;
---"a fist-fight that just got out of hand, nothing more than that";
----"proof that the victim's life was spared, at least, so that shows me the would-be murderer was not heartless or ruthless; his humanity and decency came across in the end";
---"just another example of a young man drinking too much alcohol that night and losing control when he got into an argument with another guy";
---"another case of a guy who changed his mind in the middle of murdering someone, and for that the would-be murderer deserves some praise for the restraint he showed";
----"a would-be murderer not smart enough to succeed at it; he's a retard";
----"proof that he can be rehabilitated, since he obviously didn't go all the way in his attempt at murdering someone";
----"not big enough or sensational enough to qualify as front-page news";
----"another likely case of a married guy who went out of control with rage because another man seduced his wife";
---"a situation in which the attempted murderer will be facing so much violent retaliation from the surviving victim and his family, that there's no need for a judge or jury to punish the attempted murderer; that can all be handled out of court, without any financial burden to taxpayers;
----"proof that the guy who did that was hot-blooded, a bit like the Irish and the Italians tend to be, and you have to admire the fact that the guy who did it lives with lots of passion; even his hatreds are very passionate, it's just his nature to do everything with zeal and gusto";
----"an indication to me that this was a guy who tends toward extremism, he should have settled for arm-wrestling with his enemy, but was not willing to compromise";
----"probably just another case of a public warning from one Mafia family to another, this is what most of these attempted homicides are, really".
----"an indication to me that the person who almost got murdered has enemies, something I hadn't realized before";
---"another example of an American who should be grateful to be alive, after he nearly got himself killed by making someone very, very angry";
---"proof of a lack of imagination by the would-be murderer, since he could have simply gotten a restraining order in a court of law against the person stalking him whom he attempted to kill."
----"I can understand why the guy did it, since I've known lots of people who have driven me crazy, too, and I sometimes even hoped they would drop off the face of this earth."
---"probably just some guy trying to give another guy a good scare, and then the gun went off accidentally."
---"it probably started out as an innocuous fraternity prank, but the prank got out of hand."
