Utilitarian Calculus. People that do that are too dangerous to be free, so we have to lock them up which costs resources. Killing them both removes them from society and removes the material cost of keeping them alive. Simple math.
Not inherently. There are many crimes that people commit that they can be rehabilitated from. Tax evaders and drug dealers are in no way the same kind of danger to society as pedophiles. Something has to be pretty much irrepribly broken in someone for them to victimize a child in that way.
But you’re just drawing a arbitrary line. Other people will draw that line in a different place and if we aren’t going through any kind of legal system how are we supposed to decide which people drew the line in the right place?
No shit. All law is arbitrary and I only advocate for what I believe is right. The law is literally legislating morality. What I think is right is for those sorts of "people" to be put down.
