I love the character, and some of the people he's killed were no great loss to society. But I think torturing people to death is always wrong no matter what they've done. I don't think any single human being is a good judge of who we'd be better off without, but until we have the ability to cure people whose dysfunction makes them unlikely to ever stop raping or molesting kids or committing sexual murders, it seems kind of inhumane to just lock them up and let them prey on each other and any other criminal who's unable to fight them off. Is that really better? The problem with the death penalty is the chance of killing someone innocent, imnsho, and the fact that it's enforced much more often on people of colour and working-class people and the mentally disabled. But if somebody is really broken in such a way that they can't help wanting to commit horrible crimes, what do we do with them?
I don't know what the solution is, but I understand the appeal of the idea of people like Dexter and the Death Note person whose name I've forgot. I'm just not able to go with a simple answer like "killing people is always wrong, no matter what" either for the state or for the individual, because I don't think there's anything simple about these kinds of problems. If it were easy, it wouldn't be such a big social and moral problem.
