Is it though? Murder and executions aren't the same thing. Neither are murder and killing, and there's very little condemnation of killing. People aren't punished for killing in self-defence (or if they're a cop in some countries...). There's certainly no condemnation towards those whose job it is to kill (soldiers), if anything they are glorified rather than condemned. |
Except both execution and murder share that they are deliberate. The reason killing in self defense isn´t viewed upon as being as bad is because you have no choice and doesn´t do it delibirately. I would say that executing a person is the equivalent of murder.
