Why are you willing to hold your fire against the insider trader!!?? They are effectively stealing massive amounts of money, and devaluing the portfolio of innocent people. I suppose you would let a bank embezzler live too. Why no execution of white collar criminals?
I didn't argue against execution, necessarily. Just against shooting. Why waist bullets when you can easily take them into custody. Hell, if they even put up a fight, then you get to beat the crap out of them. If they resist arrest, then I figure it's one of those win-win situations.
