Well then. Murdering someone as ex-post “punishment” for past actions remains abhorrent, but holding a gun to her head until she gives the money back is cool and good.

There is a difference between threatening violence as a deterrent against currently engaged in harms a person has the ability to cease and claiming moral authority to end a person’s life due to things they have no control over.

There’s distinction between “Put down the box or we’ll shoot you.” and “Having touched the box in the past, you now need to die regardless.”

Still don’t fuck with “The death penalty” as a framework for the threat, however.
