If you murdered every murderer, you should get enough points to go to The Good Place, right?

Hypothetically speaking of course. I’m obliged by lemmy.world rules to state that I do not condone murder. 😉

    Murder is the unlawful or unjustifiable killing of another person. If you kill someone in legitimate self-defense, you are not a murderer.

    This, of course, doesn’t stop a lot of murderers from falsely claiming self-defense.

      Murdering all murderers can’t conceivably be “self-defense”, making it unlawful.

          And how would one know with 100% certainly a person killed in self-defense despite being labeled a murderer by the applicable legal system?

          It assumes an impossible perfect knowledge. Or if not perfect knowledge, some percentage of error, making the murderer of murderers guilty of occasionally murdering an innocent self-defense killer.
