Daily reminder: Pinochet did nothing wrong.

This made me remember the movie The Ship That Died of Shame (1955), released as PT Raiders in the US, about the crew of a WW2 British Motor Gun Boat who after the war buy the ship and start using it for smuggling. At first, just of things like black market wine.
From Wikipedia: "But they find themselves transporting ever more sinister cargoes; counterfeit currency and weapons. Though their craft had been utterly reliable and never let them down in wartime, it begins to break down frequently, as if ashamed of its current use."
What if someone who thinks 'Pinochet did nothing wrong' similarly start experiencing that their previously so reliable helicopter suffers a surprisingly high number of mishaps that no cause can be found for, as if ashamed of its current use.
I guess if you're a fascist dictator you can, but hopefully we're still far from being a fascist dictatorship. Even King Cheeto is facing a lot of hot water for giving classified info to the Russians. Which, of course, had Obama done it he'd already have been impeached by now.

Daily reminder: Pinochet did nothing wrong.
I think you might see how the following is in accord with your hero:
@Catechism of the Catholic Church
2268 The fifth commandment forbids direct and intentional killing as gravely sinful. The murderer and those who cooperate voluntarily in murder commit a sin that cries out to heaven for vengeance.
Infanticide, fratricide, parricide, and the murder of a spouse are especially grave crimes by reason of the natural bonds which they break. Concern for eugenics or public health cannot justify any murder, even if commanded by public authority.
2269 The fifth commandment forbids doing anything with the intention of indirectly bringing about a person's death. The moral law prohibits exposing someone to mortal danger without grave reason, as well as refusing assistance to a person in danger.
The acceptance by human society of murderous famines, without efforts to remedy them, is a scandalous injustice and a grave offense. Those whose usurious and avaricious dealings lead to the hunger and death of their brethren in the human family indirectly commit homicide, which is imputable to them.
Unintentional killing is not morally imputable. But one is not exonerated from grave offense if, without proportionate reasons, he has acted in a way that brings about someone's death, even without the intention to do so.
Leviticus 18:23 might also apply to some acts your dear Pinochet did.

Such as, for example... a split pin: the physical removal of such from a vital piece of a helicopter's tail rotor transmission, preventing the bolt keeping such connected from coming loose due to engine vibration, resulting in the craft becoming uncontrollable, thus causing the deaths of more than just certain temporary passengers.
