    Could you not prevent them from causing additional harm by not killing them? What if you’re wrong? There’s plenty of reason to leave them alive, but only one real reason to kill them, and that reason is vengeance.

      Are you familiar with how the psychopathic mind functions? They lack empathy, and I don’t mean it in a pejorative sense, no, I mean it literally.

      Psychopaths are hard to reason with due to their lack of aforementioned empathy, manipulative nature, impulsivity, shallow emotions, and absence of remorse.

      If they killed once, they will kill again.

        I am. And there are plenty of ways to keep them from killing people aside from killing them. There’s plenty of people serving life sentences for murder.
