That makes no sense.Well, I think from one perspective you could argue that supporters of the death penalty might fall into this category. The death penalty is murder, albeit murder by the state. Supporters of the death penalty aren't usually people who are bloodthirsty, they are usually disillusioned into thinking that by killing the criminal you get rid of the problem, and that it acts as a deterrent.
So I disagree that a good person can think it is good to tolerate *all* murder, but they can with specific examples.
