Prisoners killing others or an agent of the State killing Death Row prisoners?
I've seen a documentary on Brazilian prisoners and they appeared no different than animals from all the killing they did.
An agent of the state, I wouldn't think a Protestant agent of the state that off'ed Death Row inmates would have trouble - considering his philosophy. I.e. that a Man will Die By the Sword - if he lives by it.
The idea that God establishes Gov'ts and if you murder the Gov't will get you.
No,it was about government employees (e.g.,prison wardens).
