I want to know how to kill a specific running thread (say by its id)

  Killing or stopping a thread can cause data corruption and
  unpredictable behavior. It's better to use a more chill
  approach like setting a flag to let the thread know when to
  wrap it up and exit gracefully. If you really need to terminate
  something abruptly, go for a process instead of a thread.
