I have made a general statement that it is unChristlike to seek or support the death of anyone. I didn't direct it to anyone personally, so don't take it personally.
My statement is based on what Jesus has taught us in scripture. I Tim. 1:16 is very clear. Jesus had mercy on Paul, the worst of sinners, that His example of perfect patience would be demonstrated to future believers. That means we are to have that same kind of patience with the worst of sinners, even murderers like Paul. We are to pray for them, and witness to them, and have perfect patience with them. To seek or support their death is not having perfect patience with them.
I can therefore stand on the inerrant, infallible Word of God, and say it is unChristlike to seek or support the death of anyone.
BTW, Moses was not allowed to see the promised land, not for the murder of the Egyptian, but because he was careless with his words and struck the rock twice. That was a strong punishment, but not applicable to this discussion.
peace to you
