This is top-and-tail posting .... I read the first page (and thought, oh, Radar has made a thread to play in all by himself) and the last page (and thought, are we still #$%&ing arguing about this? We had this #$%&ing topic last year!)

The immigration status of this homicidal maniac shouldn't enter into the equation. Whether he was living here or in Honduras, or wherever, he was more likely to commit this sort of crime than the average Joe. The lives of innocent people in $random_country are every bit as valuable (perhaps not economically*) as those in any other.

It would be nice if we could eliminate or suppress all dangerous nutjobs, wherever they are in the world.

* It's sort of crass to think about it this way, and I don't have the numbers to back it up, but I think the expected lifetime economic contribution of the average person in the United States is going to be much greater than that of the average person in a developing country.

Yeah, I think the same thing whenever this crap pops up here. And then I let myself get sucked into it.
