Don't know. I never had to deal with a guy hopped up on pcp.
The European idea of crime and punishment is different then North America. I used to think we where too soft on crime and still do in most cases. However, then I talked to a few Europeans and found out that we are the hard asses when it comes to punishment. They see us a barbarians. They are disgusted that some places still have a death penalty. I mean really why house some scum bag that will just get out and kill, rob, molest, rape, etc again and again. Sadly just like Sgt. Scott aka GR-13 in Universal Soldier says "the only way to teach them is to kill them".
Umm... ok. Well you've made your opinions on the matter pretty clear. That part about "They took turns beating him most likely because beating people gets tiring and you need to take a break so you can beat them at 100% again", were you joking there? With text it's hard to tell. From your comment "They see us a barbarians." it seems you wear that label as a badge of pride?

We'll have to agree to disagree I'm afraid. Your views seem a bit extreme and frightening to me, but I'm living in a country where people don't shoot each other by the hundreds on a daily basis. Maybe if I lived in or adjacent to some low-income, gang-infested hell-hole I might feel as you do, so I'm not going to judge your opinions.
