No, I just happen to actually believe in "innocent until proven guilty". You seem to believe that a few all knowing types--like yourself--can identify at an early age who should be killed as a preventive measure for the good of society.
Why is it that the right wing extremists are so willing to forego other people's rights in the name of freedom? The left wing extremists are little better, they just word it differently: they admit to stepping on other people's freedoms but justify it as necessary for the better good.

We're free to speculate on guilt or innocence as we see fit. There's nothing unethical or unpatriotic in freely expressing your opinion on pending cases. When someone is caught red handed commiting a crime and there's a video tape of the crime, are we required to refrain from concluding they're guilty?
As far as who should be killed for the good of society, people who try to beat other people to death might be a good place to start. If Trayvon had you down on the ground pounding your head into a sidewalk, you would have shot him too; anyone would have. It's called self defence.
