I don’t think we should kill them, we should imprison, even punish with emphasis rehabilitation, but we cannot just extinct this threat through more violence.
We can only destroy this behavior by ingraining its unacceptability throughout our cultures. Why it’s wrong to think this way or do this thing.
Otherwise we are just killing peoples relatives that will then turn around and say we killed so and so to them and this group is evil for X and Y.
Execute the ringleaders in a humane but public way. Imprison the second tier and strip them of property and power. Use positive incentives against those behaviors on the general public. Fast total reversal of course.

Heads on spikes is an historic example of projecting unacceptability.
Good point, gotta kill any of the relatives too (who agree with the bad guys).
