> a good chance to be out in 2033 Source needed. From what I've read he will probably never be free, which makes sense since he is actively dangerous.

If he repents, he can be free - after everything he has done. He currently chooses not to.

  It's not up to him. "Preventive detention" is still potentially a life sentence, it just has to be renewed by the court every five years after the initial 21 year sentence is up.

It seems wrong for him to ever get out of prison, even if he wasn't viewed as actively dangerous.

  Why? Being vindictive (wanting someone to suffer because they made others suffer) serves no practical purpose, as far as I can tell.

    The rational answer is because nothing in life is certain. Someone who decides to shoot and bomb and kill 77 people could decide to do so again. Certainly the odds seem much higher for that person repeating than it is for a random individual to do the same thing. No science we have can say a person won't do the same thing again. The emotional answer is that some people serve no practical purpose. I don't understand why society would care so much about the life of someone who values life so little that they can repeatedly kill dozens of people. We have no problem as a society putting down a deranged dog, even though we could totally lock it up in a cage and let it live out it's days there. Heck, maybe it won't be deranged when it is 9 years old. Let's consider this hypothetical: I am just really curious what it is like to kill someone, so I go out and randomly kill someone you love very dearly. After I do it, it turns out I don't like killing at all and never want to do it again. The rest of my life will be devoted to peace and love. How much jail time do you think I should serve?
