Those who are insane do not deserve punishment for what is punishing their mind already. They need help.

Not being a horrible person, and not wanting to make myself a violent criminal at the exact same instant that I condemn all violent criminals to certain death, I would not push said button.

It would not make you any more a criminal than judging a person's fate does a jury.

Yes it would. You are actively murdering every single person in the world who has committed a violent crime. Not all violent crime warrants death, it can be argued that no crime warrants death. "Violent crime" is a very broad type of crime.
I don't think the button would be working on a legalistic system of judgement...It just seems to be getting rid of "violent" people who can't control themselves. I also thought about the whole "If I press it then I'll be a baddy too, and will die in turn." But, owing to my previous rationalization, I think that you'd be ok. It isn't violent to press the button and condemn those people. unethical perhaps, immoral maybe, but violent? eh, i don't think so. Either way, I probably wouldn't.

No way. People don't deserve to die for violent crimes.

It depends on how far the reach of this goes. For instance, would it kill people who murdered in self-defence? Or how about soldiers fighting a war? On the other side, talking about rapists, I wouldn't even have to think about pressing the button, it would be automatic.

People who have committed crimes are not significantly more likely to commit a crime in the future than people who haven't committed crimes. Now, if you could publicize your button and threaten to push it sometime in the far future, you might significantly decrease crime rates.
