Not the OP, but I appreciate your ethical explanation.

I agree partially with you. I don't have a moral issue with the killing of individuals who have engaged in particularly heinous acts: murder, rape, torture, extreme child and spousal abuse, white collar negligence/willfully allowing death to occur through inaction for pay, etc.

I just don't trust the US or the states to ethically carry out executions, especially given their track record of executing innocent or low IQ individuals. So I'm anti death penalty. Life is cheaper than execution anyhow.

That being said, I don't have a problem with certain kinds of vigilante justice or vengeance either. Especially vengeance for a loved one. FWIW, I'm not seeking vengeance, but I absolutely get it. Jury nullficaton should always be a right.

Anyhow, the news isn't in, but I'm rooting for an ethical vengeance situation. He killed a fucking vampire, I hope he's a hero with respectable views. Even more, I hope they never catch him. Either way the fucker is dead, and good riddance. I hope the other CEOs squirm, they need to either get right or go to prison.

We should be having this discussion in News.

Well, unfortunately the guy used an e-bike with GPS tracking on it as his getaway vehicle, so I very much doubt he's going to get away with it. But yes - I agree with you on the death penalty. Shit gets complicated when the state gets involved.

Depends how far he took the tracked bike. If this was well planned, it would have been to somewhere with no cameras, and his own bike waiting for him.

If it was really well planned, there was also a burn barrel and some gasoline there, and every visible piece of clothing from the video, including the backpack, no longer exist
