We can't close the book on the past if we are to learn from it and hopefully avoid the same mistakes.

So in general, I think that in a situation in which an individual is about to eliminate a large percentage of the population, it could be justifiable to assassinate the perp, if only because the power of numbers (1 person against a multitude of persons)
