If it's out of a sense of revenge, yes. If the only option at your disposal to stop the killer is to kill him, then it is just. It is depraved to kill when you don't have to or deliberately causing unnecessary pain and suffering when doing it.
^This. Killing is only ok as a last resort for keeping society safe.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
