Not really. Ali on FTL brought it up. At first I thought what a cute little naive thingy she is.
I can't come up with a decent argument against her though, and neither can anyone else. Many a nutcase has said this or that, but the problem is the pecker head taking action, not the nut. (I thought I was clear in that someone using a mongo or animal or some other limited accountable being to kill would be murder.)
I would like to see both Hitler and Charles Manson boiled alive but I think the world would be better served to go after the people with the actual blood on their hands just to instill fear in the weak minded sheep that make the nutcase's nightmares a reality. They are responsible for what they done no excuses. I think if the sheep knew they had no excuses they would think before they followed evil orders.
Personally I like to see the guy giving the orders fry as well. Here is the problem with that:
Lets say LibPar suddenly happens and myself and QuickMike have to figure out who gets to be held accountable over the ex marine that was killed in front of his family last year.
The easiest and most usefull thing to do would be to send the squad that did the actual killing off to Rape Island. (where your greatest fantasy DOESN'T happen)
If we took the people who gave the orders it would be, The Judge that gave the order, his staff, the prosecuter, everyone involved with their investigation and acquittal, plus their chain of command all the way up to the supreme court and Obama.
If my fantasy to hang every Nazi enabler after WW2 happened, to be honest it would have been a bloodbath and a counter productive one at that. The entire city of Munken would hang.
The line of guilt has to be drawn somewhere or murder by the state is legit, saying the killer himself is the guilty one makes sure no killer has anything resembling a excuse. They are simply a fucking dangerous killer with no business in society. A nut case saying people should kill for him, God, The people, or whatever is just a sad lonely asshole.
I agree that someone who hires a assassin is a murderer in the same vain as the one who uses retards or cobras. However I think a hired assassin is a full out murderer and would get whatever consequences as such, for every murder they did, like a serial killer would.
