Do some people here not realize that if we start allowing this kind of extra-judiciary assassinations, it’s not only going to happen to who you think are the bad guys? Next one could be an opposition party leader or the spokesperson of a minority defense non-profit.

The fact that he’s wanted for murder and is the subject of an active manhunt seems to suggest that extrajudicial assassinations are not, in fact, allowed. In fact, I might be so bold as to suggest that the justice department generally frowns on them.

If you get enough people it’s called a coup and it’s legal
Edit: I should note, it’s only legal if you’re white
If the people doing the coup end up writing the history books, it gets called a revolution.
Once upon a time I would have said “Only if you win!” but the orange in chief has disproven that I suppose.

It was already happening to Boeing whistleblowers with zero consequences
Bruh. That horse sailed long ago.
