Regarding executions, Im totally against it no matter what someone has done. You cannot compromise with the worth of an human life, nor can you say it would bring justice. True justince would be to force the man to resurect his victims and se that they will live, but since we cant do that... if someone breaks my watch, I do not have the right to break theirs. But the person who broke my watch owe me an new one.
The only cases where you can say killing is allowed is under extremly, extreme circumstances, and then to directly potect the lives of yourself or someone else. And even then, its wrong (sometimes we stand infront of the choise to do something wrong, and something even more wrong). Killing is always wrong.
You cannot say that you should execute people because it costs to much, an single human life, no matter who, is worth more the planethen all money on t.
This is my view. And just to make it clear, Im an atheist. To prevent this thread from going out of hand, I wont respond to any responce to this post.
Now to something else. Here is an link to an article about two psycologists analys of our guy (note that it to is in swedish):

It states that he tried to live up to macho-ideals about how an man should be, to claim the power that should be his but wasnt (from his perspective). Combine this with an increadible need for attention, that wasnt stimulated, some kind of depresion and an luck of hope, and what do you get? This.
When your love leaves you, it hurt. But when she wants you back, when she reallize leaving you was an mistake, who am I not to take her back, if I still love her?
