The value of life

In the golden triangle of heroin production there was a saying that life was worth US$2.50, the price of a bullet.

That's what the US is fast becoming:

Clerk arrested for shooting alleged beer thief


The Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution says:
[N]or shall any person . . . be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law . . . .
Section One of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution provides:
[N]or shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law . . . .

Now, who are you saying doesn't respect the Constitution? I guess that doesn't apply to private actions.

And the right and value of life for people who are actually alive?  Nonexistant.
