Yes, and I'm sure Wisconsin prisons have a lot of big, mean white guys who know all about what Vang did, and are waiting for him. But due process of law is better. If you want to execute a man, pass the right laws and sentence him to death in open court, where the process can be examined. To do otherwise, however satisfying (and I can't pretend not to have mixed feelings re: Vang's probable fate), compromises the rule of law and puts us on a dangerous, slipperly slope. What if liberals started removing dissent by falsely accusing conservatives of relatively minor crimes, and then setting them up to get killed in jail? If not in the name of justice, then just for the sake of our own necks, we shouldn't go there.
As for Dahmer... it's reported that he converted to Christianity before his death. (I won't get into the connection between cannibalism and transubstantion except to reverently hope that he finally found for real in Christ, what he wrongly and vainly sought through his crimes.) Of course religion isn't a get-out-of-jail-free card, nor should it be, but perhaps he might have done some good behind bars if he'd been allowed to live out his sentence.
Glad that you posted this.
You are correct, but I am not sure that when you mentioned liberals setting conservatives up, that this is not already happening.
