It's not about advocacy for a criminal. What the state does is a seperate issue to what a criminal does. Criminals are criminals. Terrible people are terrible people.
What does that have to do with the state being a terrible state? Why should we make our states terrible states...on account of criminals being criminals?
Are they in charge, somehow...are the criminals steering the ship? Why?
If we substitute how we feel about criminals in the consideration of what the state does..it's not surprising that we end up thinking weird things. We're engaging in convenient self deception.
