If someone does not recognize the right to others, we must not recognize their own rights, as if we do they will be given a disproportionate advantage to society and will be able to take advantage of, and harm others further.

I am not specifically referring to "legal crimes" like jaywalking, but things like intent to murder, being part of an enemy nation that seeks to destroy or overtake the one you are in, and so on. These people cannot be given rights, since they seek to remove your own.

Similar reason animals aren't included in "deserves rights".
