As caretakers of a society or nation as a whole, the elected members should take responsibility for any mishaps that occurred under their custodianship.
For awakening this sense of responsibility within the elected member, I don't think anybody else should die.
"Courage often lies in standing in solidarity with what is right, that protest is constitutional, that silence in the face of injustice is itself injustice, that delay in confronting oppression only strengthens it, that neutrality is often a mask for dominance, and that the law itself has to be an instrument of emancipation."
