I didn't really need someone to come along and serve as an example of not only some of the forms of thinking I talked about above but also as "criminal as sub-human other (not decent folks like me and mine)", but I guess it's a convenient underscoring of the idea that some people approach society very, very differently.

It's actually very humane if you think about it. It's pragmatic at the core but still retains the humanity that you say. I believe you're saying it's inhumane because we kill, but if killing 1 person improves the lives of millions, is it still inhumane? Where do you draw the line? What if we help these people you consider "sub-human" to the best of our abilities? Let's say, you get 100 tries to be "human"? Isn't that a good limit to prove themselves based on their contribution in society? What if they don't? Should we just say, "ok, this person didn't do well, let's just leave them be and support them till they die".
