Well, see, what makes One as bad as Them is when the vengeance breaks the Laws They break. Guillotines are unEthical but locking Them up and tossing the key is not - so long as They are given food and water.

The three Laws of Ethics (Natural Law expressed as the three things not to do):

  1. Do not willfully and without fully informed consent hurt or kill the flesh of anOther

  2. Do not willfully and without fully informed consent take or damage anything that does not belong to You alone

  3. Do not willfully defraud anOther (which can only happen without fully informed consent)

Breaking these puts One beneath the beasts - with Them.

Guillotines are unEthical but locking Them up and tossing the key is not - so long as They are given food and water.

So, holding a person in a cell until death is less torturous than offing his head?
I'd contend that being locked in a cell with god knows what kind of criminal is far more unethical than a quick end.
Even when locked in solitary and not at the immediate peril of another, prison is not much better.

If you have made the choice to force your opinion onto an other, less suffering should be the goal, no?

We don't know, do We? We have no knowledge of what death is. I contend that killing People for any reason except when They are immediately in Our space aiming to harm Us or Others (Self defense) is unEthical.

So, I can only kill an attacker while in the act, but I can't dry gulch him later?
I would advocate for a victim to throw the switch, but some people have forfeited their right to life and the quicker that sentence, the better, imo.
Presuming we know enough to determine right from wrong for others.
This is freedom.

While I agree that killing others should generally be avoided, I can't see letting one with a proven record go prove it again.
I'm also not sure that I would join a 3rd party situation.
Some people are supposed to be killed by serial killers.
Not being killed could upset the continuum.
I won't presume to know the difference absent being directly involved.

At this point, We shall agree to disagree. It's pretty clear We will not be resolving this any time soon. Love always.

And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. Genesis 9:5

From the beginning, vengeance for blood is a biblical command from God.

Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; Their foot shall slip in due time; Deuteronomy 32:35

Their due time is coming soon. Either from the hand of man or from the hand of God.

Vengeance is sometimes good.
