Or on a smaller scale what if they mug, and kill, and rob, and rape?

You could endlesly kill all people who mug, kill, rob or rape - but that is not a terrific solution.

In the very short time since the beginnings of our civilization we have learned a lot about raising children not to mug, kill, rob, or rape. For the most part we are doing a terrific job in the very short time of our civilization. Very few people grow up to mug, kill, rob or rape.

There are countries now (in Scandinavia, Japan, etc) where very few people mug, kill, rob or rape. Its not inconceivable that we can totally eliminate these kinds of abnormal behavior. If we can do that, then the chances of giving rise to a Saddam Hussein, Hitler, or Stalin is greatly if not permanently eliminated.

IMO, it will not be long before this type of craziness ends. Thugs will not be welcome anywhere. Violence will come to an end. Basically, there is no alternative but to end violence - whether for good or bad.
