So you don't think someone who say, brutally raped and beat 100 women, should suffer? I didn't say I would find pleasure in it, I just think it's what they deserve.

First, if somebody raped and beat 100 women, clearly the system has failed beyond any reasonable measure. Second, the US shouldn't aspire to be some shithole nation that metes out punishment simply to make people suffer for their crimes, whether or not the punishment is "deserved"

Pedophiles/rapists/murderers/other monsters deserve to be at the very least beaten to a pulp. In some cases some people may be redeemable, but there are absolute monsters out there who destroy the lives of countless amounts of people, and those monsters deserve the worst punishment they can get.

Murder has the lowest recidivism rate of almost any major crime. As such, it seems like *most* of them are redeemable. In fact, most people are likely redeemable with the right processes in place. The rest you can simply keep imprisoned until comes such a time that they're no longer a danger to society.

Wouldn't you have preferred Hitler to at least have been starved and thrown in his own gas chambers instead of just ending his life with one shot?

No, I would have preferred Hitler be put on trial in front of the world, then either locked up for life in a secure, secret facility or -- if there was risk of a Nazi resurgence -- executed.
