Dangerous criminal ? Yes. Shooting ourselves in the foot ? Gladly.
And there's one little bit in there about, you know, a crime being a fact not a possibility. You might kill me tomorrow for all I know, but that alone constitutes no grounds for your incarceration. At least in my view.

most rapists do it more than once and a large percentage of them do kill there victims or progress to killing them for their own pleasure...and most of the time these people have mental issues which cannot be cured...which is exactly why they give harsh penalties to them...even if a guy rapes once and would never do it again, it is worth it to keep him away for as long as possible...too bad so sad shouldn't have raped in the first place and are obviously a piece of shit...not to mention the fact rapists don't usually get life sentences for rapes unless they have already done it before....again that guy robbed multiple banks after being released for robbing banks...he was not convicted to life in prison for his first robbery its like his 5th or 6th...he was not convicted on the assumption he might do it again, he was convicted for actually doing it again.....and again.....and again.....and again................
