  1. "Yes, of course a criminal can commit crimes that improve his condition." Yes, but only de facto, not de iure. According to the this legal principle nobody can improve his/her legal condition by wrongdoing. You've just shown your misunderstanding. "But you've taken it out of its proper context. Killed by a victim defending themselves has nothing to do with one's legally prescribed punishment." It doesn't need to be a punishment, legal condition of criminal who's trying to kill someone is worse than the same criminal, who will succeed and kill. Dead victim lose it's ability to defend, isn't it clear enough?
  2. But if he will kill his victim, he will receive the reward, so it's still against mentioned principle.
  3. If there is no capital punishment, and the highest punishment is life imprisonment, then one very important thing can happen. Let's say that there is an aggressor with a knife and his victim. Until victim is alive, he/she can use force against aggressor and (becouse his/her life is in danger) kill him. It's justificated. So, at the time of aggressor's attempting to kill victim, he's own life isn't protected by law system, but if he will succed, he gets a "reward", he's life is no longer at stake! It is against one of the most important principles of roman law, nemo ex suo delicto meliorem suam condicionem facere potest. Sorry for my english.
  4. First of all I'd like to point out, that this particular book promoted by kowalskil has been written by Stefan Zgliczynski who is a communist. He's also "associated with the Polish version of Le Monde Diplomatique", so let's see what kind of organisation this is: I've opened their official polish website, and that's what I've seen on the top: They aren't even trying to hide their sympathy to communism! (source: http://www.monde-diplomatique.pl/) I'm going to write something more soon. Sorry if I made some grammar mistakes, I'm also polish.
