Not an endorsement of violence, but I feel like that makes a pretty compelling argument for yes.

that’s an assassination not a murder (I think the answer is yes but still)

Let’s say a random person will die today.
You can stop that person from dying, but this would cause two other random people to die in ten years.
Is it ethical to save the random person? Is it ethical not to save the random person?

without doing the calc just let them die

with only that information given it’s probably only ethical to not save them
