It's a paradox, an unsolvible puzzle, but it really doesn't teach the original killer anything, all it does is get that person to the place where we're all destined to end up anyway, just that little bit quicker!!!!

it sends out a message that if you do bad by others you will cop the same punishment that you have put upon others!!! In the old days they used to call it an eye for an eye!!!!

It's called corporal punishment and it's because the truly horrible people aren't worth all of the tax payers money that it would cost to keep them in prison for the remainder of their miserable lives.
