Kahn, what is the difference between one monster, three monsters, or a whole society of monsters? Is it because we make our executions ceremonies? We parade the damned around from court to court and until the final moment when they get their meal.
I cannot recall the exact story but it is fitting here. An entire village (I recall 1000) must kill their lord and they each decide that each of them will take a bite out of him. No single bite was the cause of his death so no single person could have been blamed, and the emperor could not do anything to them all. In modern society we don't have to brush our teeth after the executions.
Yes they don't deserve the life they have... but now they can't live it freely. They should now be required to benefit society in every way they can.
