Kira is better than L

"If we are going to ignore that it was really just lucky that his gut feeling was right"Perhaps the greatest detective in the world and the most intelligent character in the series, as determined by Ohba himself, would be confident in his instincts after solving one "uncrackable" case after another. "However, when the surveilance in his room failed, wouldn't you broaden the search to perhaps hackers?"What motivation would a hacker have to disrupt surveilance of Light Yagami, unless the were hired by him to do so? L was hired to solve one case, and that is the Kira case, not look for every potential criminal he finds along the way."Just because he didn't kill as many people as Light he still denied basic human rights, simply on a smaller scale"While this is true, he denied the human rights of about 3-4 people throughout the series. Light Yagami deprived more people of their rights than Adolf Hitler, and to a much worse level than L, by killing them."Innocent people were expendable if L wasn't being bothered by the task force not to. Light only killed criminals"The so-called "innocent people" were people on death row scheduled to be executed at the exact time L planned their deaths, which would've simply been death by heart attacks. Heart attacks are not cruel and unusual, because lethal injection is allowed, which causes heart failure, lung failure, and brain failure. The "criminals" Light were killing were not all under those circumstances. A lot of criminals he killed simply for cruel expirements with the Death Note, testing his power. Even the ones on Death Row were killed unjustly, because he did not kill them at their scheduled execution time, denying them the right to appeal their case to a court."Yes, by his logic going against God was punishable by death"That shows how morally inferior Light Yagami truly is. A crazy leader with a God complex who sets himself as the sole judge, jury, and executioner? I thought we fought an entire war to fight somebody like that (Adolf Hitler). Light Yagami was actually worse than Hitler, because his tyranny knew no borders, and his death toll was much higher than Hitler's. "With crime at an all time low, what exactly was the issue?"First of all, "crime" is not necessarily moral wrongs. It was not "violent crimes" that were reduced, or "crimes with victims", it was simply "crime". Some "crimes" have a maximum sentence of 5 years in prison. Did those people deserve to die? Do we really want a utopia built on the graves of the unjustly killed? And it's not like crime would magically stop after Light is dead. After Light Yagami dies of old age, the world would be worse off than before Light ever found the death note. Light Yagami would have destroyed civilisation as we know it, and his life and power would be the only thing holding human society together. Their would have been no need for a police force, or a justice system. Just like after Alexander the Great, conquerer of the known world died, the world would fall apart, and decades, if not centuries of progress, would have been reversed. L and his successors quite literally saved the human race and civilisation by making sure that in the case of Kira, justice was served.
