Given that some politicians are more dangerous than terrorist, and we
kill terrorist, then what should be done with politicians who commit
crimes against the democracy and the citizens?

They should either lose elections, or they should end up in a criminal
court and given a fair trial, no matter *how* big a scum they are.

Saying that it's OK for random vigilantes to shoot at them means you've
basically given up the idea of the rule of law.
I think there's a critical flaw in your logic. I think its the
difference between theory and practice. The rule of law applies to
little folks like you and I; and does not appear to apply to the
oligarchy.

Until the law applies to everyone equally, I'm more than happy to find
satisfaction in the vigilantes.

Too big to jail FTW... Battle evil with a different kind of evil...
