I am anti-DP and I'm anti-"extra-judicial punishment" as well.
Dealing with my loathing for this guy's actions and keeping from sliding into what I know intellectually is wrong thinking but what seems to satisfy my thirst for vengeance is easy now -- No matter what happens to this guy, it will not undo what happened to his victim. Since I was not personally affected by what he did, my vengeance is irrelevant and immaterial.
It is better, therefore, to put him away and put him away where he will NOT be subject to extra-judicial punishment that could lead to lawsuits against the state and prison authorities and take away from funds needed to rehabilitate those who are rehabilitable.
"Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord" and since I don't believe in that Lord, I don't believe in vengeance either.
Better to work at preventing these things from happening in the first place than wasting energy hating after the fact.
