I generally go with this interpretation with a bit of a tweak - yes, there is a certain brand of scum out there capable of such unthinkable depravity that they DO deserve to be rendered down to nothing larger than a thumb ... HOWEVER ... I cannot think of a single mortal human with the depth of judgement sufficient to decide whether another should live or die.
