There is no doubt that some people are horrendously evil and have committed unspeakable crimes throughout the ages. And guess what, those people might suffer longer before being eternally annihilated. There are hints of this in scripture.

But also remember, there are millions of just regular people out there, that's never purposely viciously harmed anyone. But they are still unbelievers. They too will suffer forever and ever and ever, never to get any relief ever for all eternity, according to your view.
Well my friend, that is not justice either. The punishment in no way fits the crime. A very finite time of sinning, some dying very young, compared to all ETERNITY of suffering and they didn't even ask to be born in the first place.

The wages of sin is death the bible says. This is God's justice. And what you are not considering is that it is very severe punishment to be annihilated forever. Contrast that with eternal life that is so blissful we can't even imagine how awesome it will be. Those victims you are talking about, if any of them are believers, their pain will be gone forever and they will live in eternal bliss with Christ and all the other fellow believers. Those horrendous evil people that committed those crimes against them, will first face the wrath of God (we don't have adequate words to describe what that will be like either) and then they will be no more forever. They will be cut off from life forever and will go up in smoke.

Capital punishment, the death penalty, is considered more severe than being thrown in prison to suffer. Why? Because life is completely taken away.

Now I'm not going to make the insane, erroneous claim that I'd rather suffer in hell for all eternity than be annihilated like I've heard some an annihilists make. But at the same time, compared to what believers are going to experience for all eternity, it's a huge deal to be annihilated.

Romans 8:18
18For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

But also think about this: if those victims you are talking about were not believers, not only did they go through such horrendous suffering on earth, they will wake up to an eternity of horrendous suffering forever and ever and ever and ever, according to your view. So that kind of reasoning about the injustices here goes both ways, you know.
