Not enough scrutiny/blame have been given to the US government. TK is not entirely to blame for his crimes. This is why we should make away with libertarian concept of free-will. If a cow had been poisoned to murder people, no one would necessarily blame the cow or think that it "deserves" some kind of punishment. After killing the cow to simply stop its spree, we would focus our attention to the actual perpetrators. In this case its the US government. However, all I see in this thread, most of it anyways, is directed directly towards TK. He was undeniably a genius with so much ahead of him, but all of that went to waste.

To some people, it is not enough that he is murdered/punished, he needs to be made "rightly" suffered through similar pains. Why? If there is a cure to mental illness, why would we not administer this drug and let the man free? Without free will, this concept of "punishment" would simply wither away.
