Within my personal morality framework, it is completely ethical to lean into rage if you can hold your logic, and those few persons have just sacrificed themselves to becoming a lesson.
There's a great saying which is "if you're incapable of violence, you're never peaceful, merely harmless." It's time we start talking about was is and is not okay within the context of intentional harm and suffering. What are the pros and cons of punishment? When should it be applied? How?
I'd say a week of waterboarding could be enough to get someone very adamantly expressing "it wasn't worth it." Those words would never go unsaid by these culprits. "It wasn't worth it" should be the slogan of every evil deed.
