    What value to society does that thief’s life bring? Most likely they are just a drain on society, so why is it wrong to stop the drain? Humans aren’t in danger of going extinct, they don’t need special protection even when they are obviously problematic. There is a net gain to basically everyone by removing a single individual like that.

      I mean, yeah, killing every dead-weight Republican would result in a dramatically better society, but there are ethical reasons why we don’t just execute all the shit-for-brains right wingers.

      Who will be the judge to decide which people are a drain on society to kill?

      Based on experience living in a redneck town, probably about half of trigger happy ‘property protectors’ in the US are recreational thieves who threaten to shoot people looking for their stolen stuff.
