Anything that will save tax dollars/euros/pounds etc. is worth it as long as it is done quickly, and does not clog up the court system.

based on that we should have total anarchy...how better to save tax money than buy having no laws, no army, no government?

(im not advocating this at all, im pointing out a flaw in his reasoning)

I was half joking, yet it is better to not waste tax dollars on the worst criminals. I think the fact the US has the most imprisoned people in the world does not help us at all. Either we need to find a better solution besides imprisonment or we need to use lethal means on the most inhuman criminals.
