What is to be done about shitty, immoral people?

Leave them to their own devices? But this is unsafe.
Attempt to rehabilitate/re-educate them? But this is wasteful.
Punish them? But how?

>Attempt to rehabilitate/re-educate them? But this is wasteful.
How is it "wasteful" if it has an effect and the alternative of not doing anything is even more damaging?

>Punish them? But how?
You forgot to also say "but this is wasteful". Also, same as above.

How can it be done without wasting inordinate amounts of time and money on people who may not be willing to change?

Punishment is efficient. They could take off limbs like they do in Saudi.

It creates capital for private run prisons. However, one should discuss wether throwing people in jail is actually effective. Also, this leads to a lot of potential for abuse, since law enforcement can be in cahoots with private prison owners and send them more "prisoners" while they get a share of the profit

Dunno but if you can "fix" completely a murderer then go for it. It's not like anything can be done to bring people back and executing the killers as some states do is even worse in my opinion. This is sincerely a touching topic. I'm aware that generally mentally ill people are prone to do this, normal people don't think about killing others.

Now I don't think you can competely give a "cure" to a mentally ill person against their will like in the movie A Clockwork Orange but I might be wrong.

Daily reminder that objective morality does not exist.

>you want to get rid of "shitty, immoral" people so that you can create a better world, and get rid of the suffering created by said people
>Genuine belief in that possibility of a better world only makes sense if you believe in an objective truth from which suffering could be non-arbitrarily evaluated, independently of social constructs.
>However, an absolutely materialistic understanding of the universe leaves no room for concepts like a "better world" or "morality", except in the context of delusions and emotivism.

Life is too short to be spent wasted on shitty ideas, use the time that you have to enjoy it!

give them a chance to do good, don't give them a chance to do bad

A better world would be one that removes needless 'suffering' at the hands of the deluded, mean spirited and selfish.

Reducing life to purely materialistic understandings is part of the problem, not solution.

So you're a utilitarian? I'm guessing you'd agree with John Stuart Mill's rule utilitarianism.

I made the assumption before that you were a kind of conservative, Natural Moral Law kind of moralist simply because it seems like most people on Veeky Forums are for some reason.

Capital punishment isn't a sign of mental illness, it's more a sign of righteous indignation.

I've wanted to kill people before. Not that I ever would, but it's a reasonable response to meeting severe injustices.
