Why is it inhumane

Some people don't care what works.  All they want is something that satisfies their primitive desires.

As long as someone else has to do it.  This country lost its collective mind over seeing Ray Rice knock his awful fiance out...I can only imagine what a video of a woman being boiled to death would do to the masses.

It just seems to be our culture.  We can visualize ourselves as heroes.  The one who shoots the rampaging shooter, the guy who blows away the intruder in his home, the law-abiding citizen who doesn't need the threat of torture and grisly death to keep him in line but knows other people do, etc.  

When it comes to guns, violence, killing, life or death situations, or basically being able to straight up murder someone I really think our populace is living in a fantasy world.  Then again, I'm just a cynic.
