So killing is not okay except when its internet-approved vigilantism?

Example: "Polititian commutes death sentences" Lemmy be like "good", but then when "Politician condemns assassination" Lemmy have a problem with condeming political violence?

(Like Gavin Newsom commutes all death row immates in California vs when Democratic polititians condemned Luigi Mangione)

Or are these different groups of Lemmings?

The context of those two things is vastly different, just like how invading a country and defending a country from invasion are different things. I don't want war but I will certainly say Russia should stop killing peope while being fine Ikraine kills invading soldiers.

The state has all the power and should not use it to kill people it could just keep locked up. Luigi fought back against a rigged system and killed someone who has the power to deny medical care that has certainly caused many unnecessary deaths. The death penalty is an abuse of power. Luigi fought back in self defense for because the legal system is rigged. Completely different context.
