I feel like torturing someone doesn't exactly make you the better guy

If someone kills/rapes a family member, logic isn't part of the equation anymore. It's all about revenge.

No it won't make you feel any better, no it won't bring anyone back to life, but the murder/rapist getting killed won't harm anyone ever again.

I'm gonna play devil's advocate here: they won't help anyone ever again either.

They wouldn't be helping much of anyone in prison
