Warning: abusing this will result in moderative actions taken against you.You shouldn't kill threads. All ways to do that are deprecated because you shouldn't do it. You should use interruption instead.
So instead of killing a thread, you should interrupt it via
Thread#interrupt which is equivalent to asking it to stop - if the thread is waiting via some mechanism that supports interruption, it stops waiting and throws an InterruptedException (which you should never ignore - if you continue, you should at least call Thread.currentThread.interrupt() again to re-interrupt it). Otherwise, you can check for interruption using Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted
