argument a load of specious BS

It's murder because it can not possibly be applied *only* to criminals,
given that we know that not all convictions are correct - indeed we
know that they *can't* all be correct seeing that we don't have total
surveillance and mind reading. I don't particularly have a problem
with killing certain classes of criminal, but I do insist that we know
beyond a shadow of a doubt that they really are criminals.
