How do we judge who’s life is worth taking? When is killing someone justified? When is it a crime? When is it even a good thing? For every circumstance is there really a different understanding of right and wrong? We don’t pass judgement on the last three but following a guilty conviction, you are a felon?
Sure, the death of someone like osama bin laden would fall under that “praiseworthy” but how is fair to choose who’s killing will warrant jail time and who’s glory? Maybe if you’re carrying a badge you can shoot whoever you want, or maybe it was an accident - but manslaughter still gets you like 7-15; at least its not 25-life with no chance of parole (that would just suck). And if we think that each individual life has a different face value, seeing that one is okay to kill and the other not, then people who believe that God created all equal are allowed to say that abortion is murder but it’s okay to kill someone on death row and not contradict themselves? The world is a play on double standards and apparently people’s lives fall into this trivial category.
