    This is just the trolley problem. If you can save 5 people by killing 1, is it correct to do so, or take no action?

    Well, we’ve got lots of people taking no action, and look where that’s got us.

      You don’t get to just kill people that you suspect are evil. This isn’t some complicated ethical dilemma.

          Should his (possibly) millions of his supporters also die? Should they preemptively start killing people they view as threats to them? You know, since some people are saying that they should die for their opinions… you see how this goes? It’s not hard to see how a zero sum game ends without any winners. That’s why you have to compromise by at least not killing each other.
