(not intended to call you out, just reframing the scenario for you to consider)
Almost every murder is committed under a veil of anonymity. Few people actually claim their murders. Simply knowing a list of names doesn't change that. I don't think knowing this list of names is really going to change anything. Nor is it going to deter a crime.
I mean people keep justifying this to themselves by some how claiming they deserve this. Does that mean they also deserve to get fires from their jobs? Should they be put in prison. I'm sorry but just because they would treat people differently does not mean I believe the same thing.
As for ISIS. That could be slightly different considering ISIS itself has made claims to actually attack our country. Therefore I think it is reasonable to say that people identifying as ISIS could be a part of that plan to attack.
Of course it still comes with the same problems of verifying the list to be correct in the first place and investigations would have to follow to see if they were planning any attacks.
