Excellent question. If e-bill thinks these people are monsters, they must have done something wrong. Obviously they broke some law, but laws are only man-made. Not everybody who breaks a law is a monster (or are they? If I should ever get a speeding ticket would I suddenly become a monster?) It seems that e-bill thinks the victims have some rights not to be murdered, which the murdered violated. But where does the right not to be murdered come from? If only from law, does he agree that a society could make murder legal, and that would make it right? I assume that e-bill thinks there is some right not to be murdered. Once he tells us where that right comes from, we may be able to tell him where the other unalienable rights come from.
