Justice dictates that those who murder people in cold blood die for their actions. To claim anything other than this only shows that you don't comprehend the meaning of the word "justice".
It doesn't matter if it stops other people. It only matters that it stopped this one. It doesn't matter if he is a danger to others in the future. It only matters that he murdered someone. It doesn't matter if he has reformed, found god, changed his ways, etc. All that matters is he took the life of others and as a result must give up his own life in return.
This is justice and there's no avoiding it. Nothing will change this fact and no amount of attempts to paint it dirty by calling it vigilantism, thuggery, or vengeance will make it any less justice.
In fact if you look up the word justice in the dictionary, it should have a photo of "Tookie" Williams with needles in his arms while getting his lethal injection.
