"Richard Kuklinski suffered a rough upbringing and committed his first murder as a teenager. He eventually found a living as a hitman for the Genovese, Gambino and DeCavalcante crime families, becoming known as  "The Iceman" for his method of freezing victims to obscure their time of death. Following his incarceration in 1988, Kuklinski freely shared his experiences with interviewers and was featured in multiple documentaries."

The Iceman is the perfect nickname for mafia hitman Richard Kuklinski because thats exactly what he was. He was a cold-blooded man who could kill people with absolutely no feeling of what he was doing one way or the other, other than completing the task at hand and someone like that has no business ever living on the streets again.

I don't like referring to human beings as animals (even if I don't want to use the word asshole) but if you were to call someone an animal, The Iceman would be towards the top of the list. Big, powerful, strongman, who didn't have much if any care for anyone's life other than his own.

Kuklinski's job as he saw it was to stay alive and live as comfortably as he could. And killing came naturally to him and was something he was excellent at as far as all the murders he pulled off even if did kill some bad people who society would be better off having those people as dead. 

We have the death penalty in America for people like Richard Kuklinski. People who have no care for anyone else's life other than their own, who actually get pleasure in taking someone else's life even if that person is also bad, and who are a real threat to murder again.
