Is the murderer absolutely immune from a person who wants to take revenge?
Yeah, ok, the murderer may never meet his legal and justified consequences but will the Nazi government of america always be there to protect him?
Now, obviously, ;-);-) , I’m not saying a person should find this guy and do unto him what he has done unto others. Nope. No way…

This is a perspective that the leadership in general should keep in mind.
They are relishing in ignoring laws and treaties and just opting out of consequences. Generally people understand that honoring laws and elections leaves the populace broadly with a sense of justice even with misdeeds and the punishments are, generally, pretty light. Even the light punishments satisfy people.
Continually flaunting these mechanisms and denying people a civilized path to feelings of justice and being heard is a dangerous thing.
It’s why the control bounces back and forth between two sinilar political parties, most people get a sense of “my team won” or “my team will probably win next time” and this placates people. To decide to nope out of these conventions is to invite great risk.
