That argument is the reason why our society is in such an appalling state - sometimes you have to fight fire with fire, because the perpetrators of truly evil crimes cynically exploit the very system of justice and law they have violated, KNOWING full well how to invoke THEIR human rights when they have so cruelly and willingly violated their victim's human rights. A civilised society has to recognise and remove the evil in its midst - permanently - in order to protect those who are law abiding.

There will always be paedophiles, rapists, murderers. Killing them off sovles nothing.

Who's talking about SOLVING anything, I'm taking about DEALING with the problem. I, for one, don't want to live among them. There are some crimes for which no amount of rehabilitation is justifiable or appropriate, and the ones you list above are those.

The thing is, you will always be among them, whether you like it or not. You can't deal with the problem just by killing them off one by one when there is plenty more out there. You need to look at the wider picture.
