Before I even think about trying to see Mathews point of view about stealing the bread for starving children, I would like him to experience a few things:

a) To be actually starving with kids begging you for more food but you have none to give and then have to tell your kids that they will have to starve to death.

b) To have someone walk up to you when you were little and wanting to be a superhero, and tell you that you are usless, a freak of nature, and a mistake, without even seeing what you could do or hear what you had to say.

c) To actually have a pistol aimed at someones head, to see the fear in their eyes, and for him to realize that he would be about to take away someones hopes, dreams, emotions, family, ect, and know that he could never take it back, even if it turned out to be the wrong desision.

d) To run away from an abusive home and have the options of becoming an assassian, becoming a prosititue, or starving to death.

Also, about the whole " If they commit a crime, they die, if not, they live. that simple." Honestly? So your pretty much saying that any small thing that someone has done, for example, littering or watching something online, should automatically be killed. You might say, "those are small and ridiculous laws" but they are laws all the same. If you want to to that, you will have to punish everything the same, with death. YOU have done terrible things. Maybe to you, they arn't as bad as killing someone, but none the less, everyone has done some shitty stuff. Before you judge someone about what they do or how they react, step of your high horse and put yourself in their shoes. Someone mentioned earlier that Cheshire had only a few plausable options when she ran away from her abusive home, one of them being prostitution. You said that it didn't matter, that she should have "done the right thing" and not been an assassian, insted she should have sold her body or worse. Think about it.
