Nobody's going for sainthood here. It's about removing a human tumor from society, if and when said human is confirmed as a tumor.
What would you have the State of Florida do? Put him in anger management for a few years, perhaps? Declare him the victim of childhood abuse and sentance him to family therapy?
Our legal system can't ensure a life sentance for him, or anybody. There will always be a chance that he'll be turned loose on society in thirty or so years after he is deemed 'no longer a threat'. He he does not deserve this glimmer of hope.
Yes, I suppose it is a bit medieval, but when people behave in this fashion, that is exactly the sort of treatment they should expect. Remember, it's only retribution if they do him in in a cruel and unusual way(which I personally vote for). Fact is, he'll probably get some sort of human send-off--something he didn't afford his victim.
