I Am Against Torture

I love how people can be so quick to say that the most heinous criminals (serial killers, child molesters, etc.) should be subject to torture. I guarantee if you actually witnessed someone being tortured in the worst ways imaginable, you would not be wishing that on any human being. If you still would then you have as much issues as any murderer or pedophile.

I agree but not on your reasons. Simply the legal system avoids such penalties because the system is not perfect there is always the chance to find out your criminal or pedophile was falsely accused and it's an actual invoicent person. If you torture and murder them you can't ever give them back a chance at life as you (hopefully ) can for people simply imprisoned.
As for being as bad as the evil you are fighting... Sometimes that's what it takes. If I had absolute certainty (for example witnessing mysel) of the guilt of a criminal or rapist I would have no problem in torturing or killing them. Someone dead can't recidivate and I don't believe in reformation for some crimes.
