    You didn’t say the method of death mattered.

    And no one here is telling Trump, Putin or Netanyahu that they wish they would die because chances are no one here would be able to get close enough to them to do it. And if they did, they’d be the ones who would die.

    So you can keep bringing up Kant, but you’re being both inconsistent and bringing up something irrelevant.

      It is some magical thinking that they want to participate in. Most of us would agree it’s not okay for the government to punish people for no reason. Therefore it is unethical to punish any criminals, per Kant. Lunacy.
