Preditors are evil. That said, we have a bill of rights that allows for due process. Arbitrary punishiment is not due process whether we hate/fear an individual or not. Punishment of a class of individuals is just plain wrong. Either we are a free society or we are not. This is the exception to the exception rule. There can be no exceptions to the rights we own under the Constitution. Any exception is the starting line of the slippery slope mentioned above.
