The human beings who are being murdered.
If you kill someone for any reason other than immediate self-defense, it is murder.
You can dehumanize them all you want, but murdering innocents is not cost effective.
Once it becomes clear it has happened your state will be liable and should have to pay the family of the murdered victim millions because assholes supported state-sanctioned murder because they wanted to feel powerful and cool and for NO OTHER REASON.
Punished implies you are teaching them something, if one is murdered, they have learned nothing... your bulb is petty dim these days.

Dim is better than off IMHO. "Murder" as you would call it is your opinion. Nothing more.

Punishment is the death penalty. It is not "murder". It is not to set an example. It is the ultimate form of punishment. Capital Punishment.

Seems to me you're putting them out of their misery. Let's see, endure years of being butt-fucked in the mouth, or get a shot so you can drift peacefully away?

Totally callous joke, but there are those who would say death is not a punishment.
