        Because they are carrying out a judgement. We don’t toss prison guards in jail for false imprisonment. We don’t send IRS agents to jail for theft.

              No. It’s killing people either way.

              Do they survive in either? Did they die of some natural disaster or disease? No. They were killed. I don’t even know why you think this is arguable unless you don’t know what ‘killed’ means.

                  That has nothing to do with what I said in the first place. Whether it’s legal or not, someone killed that person. Again, I’m not sure why you’re disputing the fact that someone killed them. Do you really think ‘killed’ doesn’t apply if it’s legal? ‘Killed’ is not a legal term. You know that, right?
