Honestly, I'm much of the opinion that those declared legally insane by reason of inability to control violent urges are best put down.
If a dog goes nuts and bites someone, we kill it. If a mentally handicapped person with a history of violent encounters flips out and stabs 5 people...we put him in a straitjacket and give him ic cream so he'll stop crying. Hell, in many cases, I think that keeping them alive is a greater act of cruelty.
