A Capital Idea!

The Curmudgeon on Little Green Footballs has a good idea:

The West --including the Vatican-- needs to revive the classic English Common Law concept of the Outlaw, i.e., those who become a law unto themselves, defy all civilized societies, and commit murder and mayhem against the rest of us:

"Outlaws" under the English Common Law automatically lost all civil rights and protections by placing themselves OUTSIDE the law, hence the label. Those declared as "Outlaws" --a civil "death sentence"-- could be hunted down with impunity by anyone at any time.
