I never heard anyone in the US calling for the murder of Osama Bin Laden.
What are you trying to push here? I understand it's a hypothetical, but it's not a good one. Osama bin Laden was basically the most hated individual in this country for a decade, and lots of people rejoiced when the US special forces killed him in 2011. Yet, he was killed following an order issued by the United States President. People were not demonstrating in the streets calling for the murder of Osama bin Laden. Or of known Al Qaeda terrorists for that matter, or for members of ISIS.
