I think if you kill a murderer that has killed one person, then it’s not morally justified.

But how about someone who killed 2? How about 5? How about 20? 1000?

Idk where to draw the line but I strongly believe there has to be a line and the number can’t be infinite.

    Killing anyone is never justifiable! There are millions of ways for a society to deal or even to prevent dangerous people other than killing them.

    Of course there are a million alternatives but the issue is when society doesn't punish the guilty or even promotes and rewards them. My own experience is of working in the past in a maximum security prison with people who did monstrous things. Today when I see Trump in all his luxury surroundings I often think that not one of those people in prison killed 170 schoolgirls. Or when I see Putin smirk I think not one of those people in prison caused the death of a million or more people.. I could hold my nose and work alongside those prisoners as a professional but if I was invited to dinner with Trump or Putin I would be totally remis not to put my knife through their eye..
