I've simply seen too many innocents killed by men who should have never been allowed a second, much less a third, fourth, or fifth chance.I don't like killing, but if it's between an innocent and a guilty man I am in no way bothered by it. I see it as my duty. I'm not bothered at all by the killing of guilty, and vicious, and evil men. I have no qualms of conscious about it. I do have many qualms of conscious about allowing evil men to kill innocents. That does bother me. I've seen good men and good women and good children murdered and die through the actions of evil and violent and vicious men. Personally I have no doubts about who I consider to be the problem or what to do about them.As far as fiction goes I personally don't like to write stories about evil men escaping or justice being prolonged forever for whatever reason. But it does happen in real life that way far too often (I've seen it myself), and I fully understand that this is a moral dilemma that many people desire to see explored in fiction. I've used it myself in stories. (And there is even that rare occasion where vicious or dangerous, or sometimes even far more rare, evil men convert and reform. And I'm certainly all for that. But they better get a real move on as far as reform goes from my point of view)But as far as I'm concerned the faster men bent on doing bad things are liquidated the better. That's not a moral issue for me.However, I think there is a great moral issue in letting such men escape Justice and death as long as they often do. To me that is the real moral failing.I know some disagree with me, and that's fine by me. It's my take on it. The innocent you defend and protect, the guilty and vicious take their chances. And if it's between defender and offender, let the toughest, most cunning, and best-prepared man win.</blockquote>
