In a hypothetical where there's a murderer with a machine gun killing children that will not be prosecuted in court then wishing them to be dead is pretty reasonable if you want the killing to stop.

Not saying killing is moral or that people don't have the right to live because they do but how else would you stop the murder if the government doesn't?
