(Some of this copy-pasted from a comment I left). (Just discussing this- I know it's not popular.)
As unpopular as it might be here, I honestly wish they could be not executed. They will, however, definitely be stopped.
Perhaps they could be given the tasks of taking risks/time to right their wrongs if and when possible. If there is truly some full fledged, dark->light event to occur. I don't know the full story of what's going to unfold.
No mercy will only bring more suffering to the world. The Bible says something like see to it that you do not render evil for evil.
Consider some of them might have genuinely been raised to behave this way, or did it for some other reasons. Not at all saying its right. And what I'm saying might be very hard to understand. But these people had a different set of life experiences. Some of them might genuinely be willing to change.
Why should good, innocent people have to keep working to make the world a better place when we could let these people do it?
(Also I'm not a shill for them. I've been here for over a year now.)
I agree with you. We just need them all neutured and away from any power and influence... taken completely out of orbit. No need to kill them. Just get them the hell out of the way.
Secondly, millions of sub-orbit players were good people caught up in swamp businesses and shananigans. Given an opportunity, they would quickly turn on a dime, come clean and change their lives.
