At any rate, how can you say vengeance as opposed to justice? If he has taken lives, several of them, and done much harm to society, how is justice served by forcing tax payers to pay his upkeep, buy his food, his clothing, his cable TV, his books? Where is justice served by allowing this to occur?

I suppose I don't think justice can be truly served, but that man is better off not taking life whenever it is possible.
