    Of course I do. You know it’s possible to justify murder without having a personal dislike of the person?

    I’m against institutionalized violence, but I can get behind a victim seeking retribution. The rule of law is not applied evenly, as you can plainly see with the manhunt for this shooting victim vs countless others. Because of that, I don’t pretend to be a believer in letting the justice system handle the dispensation of justice solely.

    Maybe you should stop viewing it as a murder and start seeing it as mob justice. That wouldn’t have to happen if our institutionalized justice system functioned correctly.

      Nah I’m against mob justice. Sorry not sorry. Violence like this destroys the fabric of society and I’m a fan of society, personally.

      I don’t think there are situations I can think of where I support offensive killing (ofc I support killing in self defense). I understand it in some cases and am most sympathetic to the murder of racists, but it’s still a bad thing to do, esp. if the person hasn’t been convicted yet.

      I actually would like to see the American justice system enact the old policy from the Bible, where if you’re the father or mother or son or whatever of someone who got killed or raped, and that person is found guilty, you get to kill that person yourself. In that case it’s not murder, it’s part of the sentence.

        We are just going to disagree on the little details here. It seems you are capable of seeing circumstances where people can have sympathy with the killer if their victim is atrocious enough. We’re just quibbling over details now.

        You seem to condone murder in quite many cases.

        To me it just seems like the justice system is built mostly for protecting the rich and powerful. It’s actually odd that mob justice is not more common.

        Maybe the justice system could allow killing a CEO after they have caused a certain amount of human life loss? That would be similar to your Bible idea, right? Part of the sentence.

          Oh yeah killing is fine if it’s a sentence for a crime. But I already said that.

          Y’all really want me to support the murder of a millionaire huh 😂
