[Avodah] the godfather is innocent, should you want to punish him?

[Meir Rabi]

R Z Sero suggests that
According to dinei Torah the godfather is indeed innocent,

Not being punishable within the framework of BD does not mean that the
gfather is innocent. Is he not Chayev BeDinei Shomayim?

R Zev adds
so why should you want to punish him?

I do not quite know if R Zev meant this, but his comment can be read as, it
is not right to want to punish someone who is not transgressing the letter
of the Law.   I disagree. Should we not want to punish people who are evil?
Ohavey HaShem must hate evil and I assume this includes wanting to punish
them.
