It's the monsters we think 'good' when we hear about bad things happening to them in prison. It's still messed up we won't pay guards enough to keep all of the positions filled. It's actually messed up we can't keep the monsters safe in prison.
There are people incarcerated that are innocent, There are people behind bars that were way over charged for what they did. Prisons should be a safe place focused on rehabilitation, not a punative jungle where it's every person for themselves.
People's perverse inner lust to hurt other people and willingness to abandon their principles really comes out the moment they convince themselves that the target 'deserved' it.
It's funny how easily people can demand a fair and equal justice system, and then a moment later, cheer for literal extra-judicial violence.
I have to admit my first reaction was “he deserves it” but I immediately felt bad for thinking that. Same as when Trump got Covid. I wouldn’t call it a “perverse inner lust to hurt other people” though. I’m human, human reactions are complicated. Nassar inflicted unspeakable harm to hundreds upon hundreds of girls and young women. He doesn’t deserve to be stabbed, but I definitely have less sympathy for him than I would for someone innocent. I don’t think I’m a monster for feeling like that.
