"I guess you think extra-judicial murder is OK when it's someone you don't like.“

It's a thought experiment about a hypothetical situation where we should decide on how to apprehend someone who bombed the UN building escaped in a big densely populated city, with nobody in universe being able to tell his real intentions.

Of course I believe in trials and proving someone is guilty, I am also against death penalty. But the situation here is not that simple.

From an in universe POV Bucky just blew up the UN building and escaped from containment by destroying parts of another building.
There were many deaths and injuries caused by the first and at least some injuries caused by the latter.

I assume people, in-universe, are in panic over a terrorist who blew up the UN building escaping, and so are the governments of the country wherever the conference takes place and neighboring countries. They have no idea who Bucky is, but with the history of terroristic acts in EU countries (and iirc this was in EU) they are in their right to fear for further explosions in places/buildings with a lot of people.

At that point a government that does not know who Bucky is, has to asses whether he is dangerous, whether he would cause more explosions, and whether trying to apprehend a superpowered potential terrorist alive is worth the risk of giving him time to execute another terrorist act, or two, or whatever else he could do.

I am also sure a regular citizen of the country prefers a terrorist who was confirmed to have bombed the UN assembly to be neutralized, preferably not at cost of more lives of fellow citizens.

Nobody wants anyone to die, but it's fellow citizens (possibly your friends and family) over the guy who blew up a building. At least for most people, usually. Well, I hope it is for my government. Or would you gamble on another terroristic act (with possibility of your friends and family being injured), just so that that a random guy who already blew up people can get a trial?

So yeah, from in-universe POV Steve is a self-righteous asshole who gambles the safety of people in that city to save Bucky.

No wonder nobody wants him to run around without having people he answers to being able to stop him from doing stupid shit at any point it seems necessary
