The Commandment “Thou shalt not kill” seriously needs some rational justice thought.

It's not actually translated “Thou shalt not kill”, it's more like “Thou shalt not commit murder.” God is always the same... and He wouldn't have Israel “kill” their enemies and then turn around and say don't “kill” anybody.

The proper translation is “murder”, not “kill”. The state wields the power of the sword and should definitely use it in this case.

The Commandment “Thou shalt not kill” seriously needs some rational justice thought.Technically, it's "Thou shalt not murder," big difference.
