Let's say your liberal Democratic neighbor was killed by a drone strike.

He or she was labeled as a terrorist and you know for a fact they were not.

Would you still be in favor of summary executions?

Perhaps you know you're neighbors better than I do.

Assuming we are referencing somebody I can say I know is not a terrorist - maybe, if there are a lot of terrorist killings of innocents going on, but probably not. I would rather free the guilty than convict the innocent.
