another thing to consider is the deterant value of 'shooting him in the
ribs'.  I believe that there are a number of people who would be less
likely to commit 'insane acts' if they were certain that it would lead
to their death.  Whether this applies to people who are as far-gone as
Hinckley appears to be, is another question...
