Bo,
The only objection I have to your explanation is your disbelief in the
intellect of a killer. True, it is likely that this person's intellect is
low-Quality and would only serve to harm society, but as Pirsig says, "It's
not nice guys who create social change." Social change is created by those
who threaten society in their time period and only look good centuries later.
There are many examples . . . how about Gandhi? To the British he was a
criminal, he broke laws, he fueled the conflict between peoples. Yet, had
they eliminated this threat, his patterns would have died and we would not be
where we are today. I know it's not the same comparing Gandhi to Ted Bundy,
the example we've been using, but there still is the possibility of Ted Bundy
creating intellectual patterns that will somehow benefit society . . . by
killing him we are losing those patterns.
