Liberals love these people because it's easy to push a narrative about evil Republicans and prison reform and broken, oppressive, heartless systems if you don't give it any consideration.
David Cross, asshole at large, has this stand up bit where he's walking the audience through the execution of a mentally retarded guy who was sentenced to death under Bush after killing people in Texas. He acts like the guy was some happy downs child giggling "haha seat belt for my arm" as he was being strapped into the execution chair by heartless guards, unaware and optimistic that he was going to be fine, that the guy was some victim of happenstance and persecuted by evil conservatives.
The reality was that the guy was not far off from Jason Voorhees and barely spoke, but sure as shit did not have a problem stomping the life out of people and animals on a whim.
So when you consider it, many slasher flick killers like Jason, Leatherface, Myers, etc are all at about that same mental level. The real myth is that rehabilitation is going to work.
He should've done the same bit for the murders. "Hee hee ha ha look at all the watermelon in this guy's head"
Heinlein puts it very simply in Starship Troopers. There are three start points for this guy's behavior: he's an animal (and will do this again), he's psychotic (and might do this again), or clinically insane (and might do this again, or kill himself). None of these options allows for a positive outcome.
You say that, but option 3 would cost the taxpayer the least money.
Well, in context, Johnny Rico is reasoning out why capital punishment is acceptable.
A better comparison would be to putting down a rabid animal. They're too dangerous to be among other people, even other prison inmates.
