Revenge makes for a great movie, but an awful society. You cannot have an arbitrary line where it becomes acceptable to forcibly take the life of another human being.
Furthermore, the monsters like Pickton and Bernardo are such outliers. Why would we want the nuclear option available with the potential to be misapplied when there's really only a handful of people who warrant it?
It's an unnecessary risk and it undermines a civilized notion of justice. We have prisons that are plenty awful on their own.
