Exactly. But the action could be right, too. Who would complain if some nut case had shot Hitler for having a funny mustache? Nevertheless, it’s also wrong on principle to murder people. (Sulking) I guess...

Sometimes it may be necessary, stopping one to save many lest many be lost on principle of not stopping the one.
Problem is the nutcases are prone to picking the wrong target, wrong time, too soon, and/or with little benefit but great consequence ... and they will go ahead and do so while those wisely assessing & planning take longer.

“Who, when?” is a valid question.
Problem is the idiot answering “me, now.”

My wife grew up in Norwich, England. Her father used to make a big deal about the day with fireworks, a (small) bonfire, and roasted potatoes.

Movie version was good

Yes, the fireworks display when the Parliament Building went up was spectacular.
