He hides his murderous lust behind the bureaucratic protection of his role in government where he can carry out his form of killing while believing he is immune from prosecution by the cattle he believes he can so easily kill.

Sometimes they never even kill people. They may be schoolteachers, prosecutors, or real estate developers who hate other people but never go too far in physically harming them.
