I’ve never actually watched Dexter, but I gather it’s about someone compelled to murder people who chooses to murder only people where the world is improved by their death?
In what I’ve seen of Dexter the most ethically grey kill was of a pedophile who was stalking his step-daughter (and that’s a murder I’d be comfortable committing!). The rest were all murderers who were highly likely to kill again.
For my part I would prefer to live in a world in which other people don’t go around being vigilantes and also don’t want to be a vigilante myself. Because frankly it isn’t my problem and it isn’t worth the risk or the effort it would take me.
