The most common justifications for murder are morality-based. "He deserved it" or "she was cheating on me" etc.
Not saying you are right or wrong in this case, but in general you want to check in with some objective observers rather than taking the law upon yourself.
It's also worth remembering that quite a few industries have death as a side effect. If there is an obvious and economical way to make things safer, and someone cuts corners, then sure, they are culpable. Otherwise, it's just a cost people have implicitly accepted and rage shouldn't be directed at one person.
Speaking generally here.
- jadell 7y agoSo you round up a judge and jury to check in with some objective observers. And it so happens that all those people are friends or business associates of the murderer. Maybe the murderer is even giving them a portion of the money he takes out of the victims' wallets. Now what?
- jeffdavis 7y agoWell, there's a time for everything I guess. Might want to double check with your spiritual advisor or village elder first though -- in case you are not seeing clearly.
- swayvil 7y agoI think that the most common justification for murder is "the law demands" or "for god and country" or "it's not murder, it's execution". I mean, not to get semantic about it.
