One of the first conditions for being a member of a human society is to accept the general "no killing" rule. The rule exists to preserve the existence of the society itself through protecting the existence of its members.
If you cannot abide by this rule, then you should no longer expect the benefits of membership in that society. At the most elemental level that would mean no language, no shelter, no protection, no clothing, no nothing. You would be NOTHING and worth as much.
Ultimately, we do feed, protect and preserve the life of murderers, but that is more a sign of the cohesion and strength of our human society than a comment on the philosopical acceptability of murder.
