This is an entirely different thing. That people don't have to serve their full
sentence is indeed a major problem (and I fear it's one that's got more to do
with economics than anything else), but it isn't really relevant in this
discussion, even though it seems to be some people's main argument here.

Any killing (of human beings) is unacceptable, as long as your or other people's
lives aren't threathened. Killing in self defence is "okay", and there are many
situations where killing someone is the only way out... but not after that
someone's been caught by the police. As long as they keep him locked up tight,
he's not going to be a danger.
