Well, he did kill two bystanders. Still, it's hard to think of hooning around as a threat to national security.

If you are not from the royal family, you will be executed for simple robbery, which is hardly a national security issue.

But if you are from the royal family you can get away with anything, and I really mean anything.

They should just build their roads a bit narrower.  One flick on a Swiss road and you'd be in a tree or worse. 

The Saudi's give the death penalty for tons of things that aren't remotely against National Security.  For example in the US the saying is 'Strike Three - you're OUT (or in, as the case may be...for a long time).  In Saudi it's 'Strike Four - you're dead'.  :fool: :fool:

That's the trouble with having capital punishment available, some judges and courts will use it.  :(

I'm sure most relatives, or loved ones, of deceased innocent victims of drunk or reckless drivers would welcome excecution as a fitting punishment for the perps. Good job we don't have the death sentence available in Britain; - for anything.
