Pardons. If he's pardoned there is a good chance he'll kill again. (And inspire copycats.)
We need to eliminate pardons across our system of justice. Between Biden pardoning his son and Trump pardoning the J6'ers, there should be a bipartisan case for closing this.

or…if we’re at the point we need to neuter the power of the elected office,
just randomly appoint people, and stop pretending what we’re doing is working.

Why would he need to be pardoned to inspire copycats? Why wouldn’t his death cause him to become a martyr and inspire others?
Why would he be pardoned by the governor at all? Why do you believe Hunter Biden being pardoned is on the same level as J6 being pardoned, when the reasoning (accurately) was to protect him from a perversion of the law in turn?
Your entire argument is essentially “kill them before they can prove they’re not still a threat”.
