William Flew Justice again

If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of the town. They shall say to the elders, 'This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a profligate and a drunkard.' Then all the men of his town shall stone him to death...
Blows and wounds cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being. The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.
 Deuteronomy 5:9 
"for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me."
Deuteronomy 24:16
"Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin."

The three MH60 Black Hawks hovered above the target — a high-walled compound surrounding a three-storey villa — enabling members of a combat unit known as Seal Team Six, wearing night-vision goggles, to abseil down ropes.
Within seconds their presence was spotted and armed guards started to emerge from the main building. A gunfight broke out as bin Laden and his associates tried to fend off the intruders. It was at this point that one of the helicopters stalled, in a heart-stopping moment for US officials monitoring events from a control room in Washington. The pilot, calm under pressure, was forced to land in the compound while gunfire exploded around the stricken aircraft.
Bin Laden, armed and firing at the Seals, was shot to the left side of his face and in the chest.
Officials said that his wife was injured, though there were confused accounts of her fate. In addition one of bin Laden’s sons died, as did two brothers, one of whom worked as a personal courier for him. Another woman was wounded.
Bin Laden’s wife is said to have identified her dead husband.
Those on the raid were able to verify bin Laden’s identity with facial recognition technology and by measuring his height. It was also reported that a woman at the scene identified him to the US commandos, although the circumstances of this were not clear. Photographs were taken of all the dead — images that were analysed, enabling the CIA to confirm identities. In addition DNA testing was later carried out, offering 99.9 per cent certainty that one of the dead was bin Laden.
