Is murdering a murderer who plans to murder again murder?

I imagine there is gray in veganism, as with all philosophical life choices.

If you murder a murderer, the number of murderers in the world stays the same.
So you should murder at least two.

  • Is murdering a murderer who plans to murder again murder?
  • Is murdering X murder
  • Murdering X = murder
  • Is murder murder?
  • Yes
