How large? Executing / permanently imprisoning serial killers e.g. is fairly mainstream, though certainly controversial.
What makes you suspect something like that? Pretty much any tribe gets pissed off when <out-group> starts torturing members of <in-group>. Maybe you mean torture as established part of the justice system, as was common throughout much of history? Even then I'd suspect there are plenty of people who have no problem as long as it only affects <out-group> or <criminal>.
I'm talking about putting certain people diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder down before they do anything.
Our medical/legal establishment routinely tortures people so that everyone else can feel slightly better about certain aspects of mortality.
It's probably stupid to reply to comment from more than three years ago, but Antisocial personality disorder does not imply violence. There are examples of psychopaths who were raised in good homes that grew up to become successful assholes.
