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?

"Nazi death chamber?"

Okay I'm sure there have been innocents on death row but like 90% of those convicted arent good people

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_death_row_inmates_in_the_United_States#Federal

A white supremacist that shoots up a church to murder 9 black people. I mean no chance this guy was innocent.

Another guy on the list is an antisemetic guy that shot up a synagogue to target Jewish people.

Although I'm not exactly comfortable with the state having a "license to kill", I dont think it's exactly correct to say that death row is a "Nazi death chamber". There's nuance to this.

    That wasn't my point (though you're wrong about that too). My point is that you're suggesting there's a contradiction between being opposed to killing one party but not to killing another party. There is no contradiction. If you take sides then it is consistent to support violence against your opponents but not violence towards your own class.
