Yup, you’re right. The idea behind a legal system includes making murder an obsolete tool for defending and securing the freedom and security of each person. But when morally corrupt billionaires actively dismantle said system through propaganda and corruption of politics, murder becomes the only type of violence that defends the will of the violated, the only force capable of the otherwise forceless. It is not even the punishment that legal murder deserves, but pure self-sustainance.
