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?

People are sent to prison not strictly for reasons of violence, but because we as a society has designated certain crimes to have been painful either physically or materially to those that experienced them.

A hacker or a fraud may not be inflicting physical violence, but that doesn’t mean they are harmless.

Now what you define as violence can change things a bit, but I personally would define it as a physical or a threat of something physical.
