Thats not murder, thats justice. Now if he were to kill just a little crook like Nancy Chan for no real reason, that would be murder, which Ben wouldn't do. Is killing murderers "justice"? Murder is murder, no matter how much you try to cover it up. Call it whatever you'd like; it doesn't change the reality.

Sort of, it depends on the situation. Look at governments. Most of them have a death penalty for the worst criminals who will never change. Ben is a plumber, and plumbers are enforcers of inter galactic law. I'm just saying, Ben has said that he might have to kill people before, but thats only when they are such a threat that he HAS to, in order to protect others because that is his duty as a plumber. But almost everytime that he said that he ends up not doing it because he was able to defeat them without killing them. So, I think that if someone is such a threat to the galaxy and refuses to give up their ways to the point that they have to be killed in order to save countless otherf from them, that that isn't murder. No law would ever concider that murder, expesially since ben is pretty much a space cop.

But my point was that Ben would never try to kill Nancy Chan, or any other weak villan because they would likely never be that much of a threat. Now if Ben DID kill her just because she commited a small robery, that WOULD be murder, and abuse of power.
