Respect shouldn’t have to be earned, it should be the default to respect everyone. It is reasonable for trust or admiration to be earned, but not respect.
Just to be clear, would you also say this about hitler or similiar people? Just hypothetically, there could be no reason at all that you say you would revoke it?
A main reason for the existence of society should be to protect individuals and their rights. The accused individual, no matter how horrific the crime, must have their rights respected. Right to a just trial, right to humane treatment, etc. Other rights may be revoked or restricted, such as right to freedom, property etc.

There are two distinct kinds of respect: for the human being (respect the human rights) and for the person (respect what that person does).
Agreed. But too often the two are conflated and individuals rights are lost not for what they do, but for what demographic group they are a member of.
Thank you, I agree completly with you.
I respect that ;)
Respect can be revoked though.
If you are talking about respect for actions (see above) then yes. Respect for the human being should be constant.
