This is precisely why murder by government should be ended for all time. X murders Y so the government murders X. Which murder is justified? Will the government murdering X prevent Z from murdering A? A long statistical evidence says NO. Will the government murdering X bring Y back to life? NO. The purpose of murdering anyone is what? Revenge? Anger? Genocide? Wealth? Greed? To me there is no justifiable purpose to murder. Thank you, Tom, for bringing this to the attention of all. End murder by government, now.

Totally agree, Fay, especially because the powers in government do it in OUR name. We are imperfect and make mistakes; therefore, there is no true justice in taking the life of another except in instances of self-defense and by extension--war.

Agree, Judith, except in the matter of war. Defensive wars yes. Aggressive wars never. So, WW2 and aiding Ukraine yes, Vietnam and Iraq, No

Yes, because Nam and Iraq were not wars of defense. (I remember someone saying that during those wars the DOD should have been called the Department of War.)
