Murder 1 person, murder 10 people... there's no difference in the outcome: Life in prison (or execution). I think we should waive the "cruel and unusual punishment" for murderers to prevent this escalation.

Not all murderers do it for the thrill of killing, it could be a revenge thing against someone who wronged you

True. But after you commit one, why not a second, if the end result is the same?

I agree, I imagine once you take a persons life the sweet hunger for murder becomes insatiable.

1 murder you might get away with, and with a lesser punishment.

Murder 100 and all of law enforcement is on you. And the danger of being killed while doing it.

I don't have sources or anything so I'm purely guessing here but I would assume most murders aren't people going crazy and trying to kill as many people as possible. It's revenge for something, it's losing control of emotions, it's accidents.

Also, you get more time for multiple murders, although sometimes they run together. A murder charge, especially the lower ones, aren't automatically a life sentence.

You think killing is some sort of tabuu desire everyone is suppressing or something? If I want revenge on the guy who wronged me so badly, why would wronging someone else (and their loved ones) go down as a "might as well"?

There's definitely more than just one person that wronged you. So "might as well get that other person while I'm at it"?

Unless you're a sociopath or an a really petty bitch, the average person is not going to kill over petty grievances. That said, there is definitely not more than one person who has wronged me to the point that I'd konsider murder.

Pretty sure most murders are people the victim knows or has met. Usually some type of grudge.

I dont understand the mind of a killer but Id think most people arent just indiscriminately killing people.

An average person also wouldnt commit a murder.

I'd say the vast majority of people have the potential to murder, if circumstances lead them to it.
