Well, here we are. I guess that it was destined to come to this.
Completely up to the society that has to deal with the issue.
If they consider incarceration, treatment, isolation, or execution to be the most appropriate action (and it is supported by the members of that society) then so be it. But that decision by the society will speak to others as to the values and priorities of the society in question.
For example, the Oslo massacre. He got... was it 20 years? For something like 70 dead? It was the decision of Norway and their culture and I am willing to accept it as reasonable to them.
If they had simply decided to put him down (as one would a mad dog)? I could accept and understand that choice as well.
Either extreme allows me to better understand the values and priorities of the society in question.
Late Edit: corrected a country name.
