Seeing the people who did horrible things to them hurt makes people feel better. People don't like to admit this, but it's true. and I care more about the victims than the perpetrators.

Why do you think that is true of everyone?

Why should we not aspire to be better than this?

Why should we, as a society, cater to the assumed sadism of victims?

According to your earlier argument, he wouldn't have been too far off. You know, like regularly beating the poo poo out of her, and at one point, hitting her in the stomach while she was with child, causing a miscarriage. Or are you now suggesting you're comfortable with that sort of thing?

It is my experience, with several people, that this is true. I'm not a psychologist.

I think out version of being 'better than this' is shaming victims into 'forgiving' people.

Sadism is the wrong word. It's about regaining power, which is important for people to recover.

That * is important. Assault that causes serious,permanant physical or neurological disability. I don't know what I think about miscarriages. He should have gone to prison for assault, for a long time.

And alcohol producers/suppliers

Doctors too, since people die under their care

To think all these killers we could be Justicing to death are just walking around in our civilised society.

I don't think psychological trauma is enough. It's bad, but you don't end up entombed in your own body (but technically 'alive', so it's not murder)

You don't believe in forgiveness as a concept, though. Other people do. Should we shame them into accepting that it is morally right for people to suffer?

Also if "ensuring their victimizers are suffering to some degree" doesn't sound like sadism to you I don't know what to tell you

Seems to me that you know that sadism is seen as a bad thing, but you also want our society to cater to yours. I don't want my justice system to be based around the idea that everyone feels better when someone else suffers.

and depending on how badly she was hurt, knowing he is wasting his life trapped in prison should be enough for the relatively lesser (but still pretty horrible) things he did.
that said, he'd probably have never been convicted, at the time.

Why do you live in such a binary place? Everything isn't either 'fun' or 'painful and terrifying.'

I think that dying is a process of closure, of peace, and of memory. I seriously doubt that the brain would keep the 'pain and fear' parts active when it could devote its last dying reserves to the 'peaceful oblivion of dreams' part instead.

In my experience your body takes every opportunity to screw you, I can't imagine it wouldn't gently caress up something as profound as dying.

So you are specifically keying your entire system of justice to the easiest, most direct cases where the outcomes are known and the perpetrators clear.

Please don't opine on the idea of justice until you actually serve on a jury.
