In my experience, it can be hard not to wish someone dead, especially when you know that a person has ruined so many lives, doesn't contribute to any goodness in any situation or event, resents their own life, resents people in their life and generally thinks that the only way they can be good, is to throw money at people who don't want it. People like that, well... it's hard to think that life would be better for a lot of people if they weren't around! Yes, some people are bad apples and all that, but some of them actually do some good - but there's 2 people I can mention who just relish being as bad as they can be and does nothing that's good.
If someone is committing all sorts of hideous crimes, I think it would be normal, natural and understandable for people to want them to die. I don't think that would be wrong. but I think we have to be very careful if we don't want the what goes around comes around effect to get us. or, for anyone who's seen the craft, whatever we do comes back to us multiplied by 3. in eastern philosophy, it's called karma, which pretty much everyone's heard of. I did something really bad to a friend and not long after, a different friend did exactly the same thing to me. that was 30 yrs ago. and it still hurts. so, in my experience, incorrect or unhealthy thinking, and actions that hurt other people, should be avoided at
all costs.
When my husband was ill, and in pain and no painkiller made a difference I was thinking that is better for him to die than suffer so much and the kids seeing his pain kept on asking why can't you give him more pills?
If it's for selfish ends, of course not. For instance, if you want to be with a guy who has a wife or girlfriend, it would be wrong, even evil, to wish for his wife's or girlfriend's death.
But in another case ... toward the end of my grandmother's life, physically speaking, she was done. She could do nothing for herself anymore. She was 93 years old, and her body was simply losing its ability to sustain itself.
Even her mind, which has been sharp as a tack even into her 90s, was suddenly starting to deteriorate. It happened almost overnight, starting just a couple weeks before her passing.
I wouldn't say we were "wishing her to die" in a morbid sense, but I know I was asking God to finally take her. She was ready to go, and we wanted her to be in a better place.
Before you shoot a reply look up ("The trail of tears" + "supreme court")
