What is a civilized society going to do with those who are patently evil?
Lock them up for life, without the thought of rehabilitation?
Kill them?
Forgive them, and send them to therapy?
Perhaps send them to prison for 25 years, then send them to be rehabilitated, and then, and only then, kill them?
I do not have an answer to this; I don't think anyone knows what to do with evil, without straying into evil themselves
I know what my gut says, but that gut prompted action would fall outside what is commonly thought of as civilized behavior.
God only knows.
