So killing is not okay except when its internet-approved vigilantism?

Example: “Polititian commutes death sentences” Lemmy be like “good”, but then when “Politician condemns assassination” Lemmy have a problem with condeming political violence?

(Like Gavin Newsom commutes all death row immates in California vs when Democratic polititians condemned Luigi Mangione)

Or are these different groups of Lemmings?

    Legal institutions can jail people for life, but vigilantes can’t. Kidnapping a CEO and ethically keeping him alive in a private blacksite for life (food, entertainment, medical care (ironically)) is cost prohibitive and also much harder to pull off.

      I think I found the best condolences to the CEO’s family: “What a tragedy! If only we could’ve kept him secured in a government facility 24/7 forever, he would’ve lived!” (aka: life in prison 😉)
