No. it serves no good purpose and is hypocritical to have in societies that condemn murder.

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.

It depends what you are talking about. If you are killing enemy combatants or killing civilians. If you are killing in self-defense where it is necessary to do so for your survival or another, or if you are using excessive force to kill. If someone is already imprisoned, they are no longer a threat and therefore there is absolutely no necessity to kill them. Murder is a form of execution, the only distinguishing factor is that it occassionally has different judgment criteria.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
