execute people. No one here killed him, no one here considered killing him and no one (who hasn't been hidden by the people here) condones the killing.

What you call "dancing all around" amounts to using black humor, or noting that the guy did shitty things. Neither of those things equals condoning the murder. "Dancing all around" does not equal condoning murder. Not being sad about the murder does not equal condoning murder.

Obviously.

Though some here, inexplicably, seem to need to believe they are the same.
