Mesira permitted for danger to community

 

Rambam (Hilchos Chovel u’Mazik 8:11): …. Similarly all those who distress the community and harm it – it is permitted to hand them over to the non‑Jewish government to be beaten, imprisoned and punished. However if the person is only disturbing an individual and not the community – it is prohibited to hand him over. It is also prohibited to cause the loss of the property of the moser – even though it permitted to cause the death of the moser himself. That is because his property belongs to his heirs.

    הַמּוֹסֵר אֲשֶׁר זָמַם וּמָסַר. יֵרָאֶה לִי שֶׁאָסוּר לְהָרְגוֹ אֶלָּא








    אִם כֵּן הֻחְזַק לִמְסֹר הֲרֵי זֶה יֵעָנֵשׁ שֶׁמָּא יִמְסֹר אֲחֵרִים.


    וּמַעֲשִׂים בְּכָל זְמַן בְּעָרֵי הַמַּעֲרָב לַעֲנשׁ הַמּוֹסְרִים


    שֶׁהֻחְזְקוּ לִמְסֹר מָמוֹן בְּנֵי אָדָם וְלִמְסֹר הַמּוֹסְרִים בְּיַד


    הָעַכּוּ''ם לְעָנְשָׁם וּלְהַכּוֹתָם וּלְאָסְרָם כְּפִי רִשְׁעָם. וְכֵן


    כָּל הַמֵּצֵר לַצִּבּוּר וּמְצַעֲרָן מֻתָּר לְמָסְרוֹ בְּיַד עַכּוּ''ם


    לְהַכּוֹתוֹ וּלְאָסְרוֹ וּלְקָנְסוֹ. אֲבָל מִפְּנֵי צַעַר יָחִיד אָסוּר


    לְאָסְרוֹ. וְאָסוּר לְאַבֵּד מָמוֹנוֹ שֶׁל מוֹסֵר וְאַף עַל פִּי


    שֶׁמֻּתָּר לְעָנְשׁוֹ שֶׁהֲרֵי מָמוֹנוֹ לְיוֹרְשָׁיו:








    וְאַף עַל פִּי


    שֶׁמֻּתָּר לְעָנְשׁוֹ שֶׁהֲרֵי מָמוֹנוֹ לְיוֹרְשָׁיו:




    Is the onesh referred to have someone killed, or just general punishment?


    The Tzaar, is an abuser, whether physical, psycholoigcal or sexual.
    For an individual victime, he cannot be handed over, but apparently can hire a kosher hitman to take care of him?
