Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge? That you?
Another reason for me to hate Spectre.
This reminds me of the death penalty. Killing someone because that person killed is still killing someone.
However society choses to do it, it's still killing someone. Because killing is bad so if you kill, someone will kill you. Oh no, it's not a murder. It's a state employee that works in the correction department. Killers are not okay. The executioner is only applying the lethal will of society towards killers by unaliving them. It's not murder, it's justice!
An excuse I've heard is that it is society's way of passing the final judgement to God. Hence the "may God have mercy on your soul" line. Not only does that assume the existence of said judgement and entity to do it, by said deity's clock that judgement doesn't have to be so rushed, it can wait until a natural death. The reason reason is to satisfy the desire of revenge, but even that doesn't work, as killing the killer doesn't bring back anyone.
Death penalty in a modern society is insane. Addressing the problems that lead to such behaviors is the long term fix, not killing who does it.

I hated that when it happened in Titan A.E.
Moment in question - late in the film
The fate of all humanity is at stake, and this guy took bribes to kill all humans - but this kid spares him.
Movie Conclusion / Moral of the story
And then the guy he spared makes the sacrifie play, saving all of humanity, so maybe don't trust me with those kinds of judgement calls, I guess.
