    It was self defense, which is a good kind of murder.

    There’s no such thing as a good kind of murder.

    Necessary, justified, other adjectives sure…but it’s never good.

    Even killing the worst scum so that they don’t commit other horrible atrocities isn’t good.

    It all sucks. Murder just isn’t good.

      Murdering pedophiles and rapists is a universal good. Serial killers and animal abusers are damn close as well.

        Serial killers

        Who will do the good murdering if serial killing is punishable by death?

          Are we really getting into the Batman v Dexter argument here? Serial murder is already a crime punishable by death in a lot of the country. If on death row there is two schools of thought, the first, shared blame, when there are multiple people at once so no one knows who really commited the murder, or the second, a state sanctioned executioner because it’s not a crime to execute a death row criminal. I know you are smarter than that comment so please have a real response.

        There’s a point to be made that anyone who supports industrial farming is an animal abuser.

        Do you think I deserve to die if I buy a burger from McDonald’s?
