They should pursue the death penalty for the previously mentioned man. The man had abandoned the sinking ship leaving the passengers behind without sufficient warning.


I am in complete agreement with the death penalty, and think it should be used more often for such cases. After all, what he did was essentially murder to those who would have otherwise been saved. And in my opinion, i believe that the person who committed the crime should suffer as those who were included in that crime.
