I'm not "conflating" anything, Supe. We have already established a very clear distinction between "those who simply don't know any better and would appreciate some help" and the "feral people" who have decided to prey upon us in clear rejection of our offers of "some help". We've discussed the differences at length. Please don't start us around that block for another lap.

We have similarly agreed that we have too many prisons and too many prisoners in them for too many offenses that should lead to something other than imprisonment. At least here in the U.S. - with damn near the highest incarceration rate on earth. So, no, we have established that is not the answer. Let's not rehash that one once again either.

What we are discussing are those who have been in our prisons for violent offenses. Repeatedly. Those who have demonstrated, through their recalcitrance and consistent rejection of "some help" to be incorrigible. Those who will, absolutely, offend again if released. Those are the ones who "need killin'".
