1) He needed killing.
You should not expect any sympathy for him from me, but he was not a snake that needed killing............
2) The ideology of Ahimsa is very different to the crap he fed us.
What exactly is Ahimsa, kill?

You mean these soldiers in below pic? The very same soldiers in Khaki shorts fighting for their masters? Yes I see their pictures every now and then on internet. So how exactly they were going to fight their masters? I have shown you this picture before let me share it again (see if you could find one face willing to fight his masters). You do remember 1857 right?
