See my other comment:

When a dragon is slain, we don't mourn its death, we cheer the Dragonslayer.

I disagree with this metaphor. Humans aren't inherently evil, in contrast to the dragon. Even though the guy definitely did evil shit as a CEO and is responsible for thousands of dead people, he is not fully evil. I'm very sure he also did good things.

For me this is really important, because that's exactly why I oppose death penalty. No human is absolutely evil, and thus in every person there is something worth preserving and being protected.

humans aren't inherently evil. Most aren't, I agree. But some just are.

Thank you for letting me know about my phrasing. I disagree, and have corrected my post now. Thank you!
