"justice" - a subjective idea has little to do with "rights" which are codified in law and are black and white.

No. You can act against him the second he initiates his actions (including when he threatens to do so).

And this is the problem. THe guy who is a paranoid schizophrenic is "free" to roam the streets believing every child is an alien and he needs to kill them all - and NO ONE can really stop him until he starts killing children.

But you can't just lock up people because you consider them "wack jobs".

Yes, you can. Its called the Baker Act. You can be dragged out of your house right now and put in a psychiatric facility for observation should there be sufficient cause to do so. I've actually sent police to someone and had them take that person for observation. Works just fine. That individual ended up getting diagnosed and treated.
It just requires someone that isn't too politically correct and that can not only recognize the problem, but then does something about it. In most cases of these mass murderers, they were already diagnosed... but their "rights" come before those of everyone around them who are the ones who should be protected.
