MODERATORS
I was never a moral absolutist. The context and results are different.
Those are diametrically opposed statements, though. Or are you saying murder is fine if it’s someone you don’t like?
I’d also point out that, if you’re judging from results, killing either a corrupt healthcare CEO or a corrupt politician would probably be equally practical. If you’re judging from morals, I’d say they’re also equal.
Anything is permissible if the outcome is good, but you can never operate under uncertainty or on a plan which does not have any clear results.
What Luigi did had no good outcomes and therefor it was just murder, he should bear the weight of his actions instead of run from them. Even if the person he killed actually had some positive impact, such as killing a Republican Senator, I still think the person responsible should face charges head on.
