    Yes, the bastard who assaulted her child deserved death.

    No, you can’t take justice into your own hands, because vigilante justice means the negation of all civilizational achievements and the rule of law.

      The law is fake. Justice is fake. These are ideas pushed on us to maintain the monopoly on violence of the state

      More and more, I become convinced in the law of consequences. I think, morally and pragmatically, that her actions were reasonable and a net benefit to society. I think most people would agree with that on some level

      At some point you have to ask… What’s the value of the law? Why defend it in this case?

      Explicit rules are nice to tell people what they can get away with. On a deeper level, we have to decide what’s right and wrong as a society.

      And that’s a blurry line no one should be getting near

        Thank you. Came here just to say this.

        Life is NOT valued in our society. Justice is not valued in our society. Power (=Money) is.

        It is completely acceptable to kill hundreds of thousands for a legal war, the legal declaration that a pandemic is over that truly isn’t, or via laws that allow corperations to pollute the local environment with many delayed deaths to follow. Legality is shaped by those who hold power. Just look at what’s “legal” in the US right now.

        As a parent, friend to a judge (so I’ve heard the inside scoop) and after some 40+ years in this system, I applaud Vigilantism. #luigi

      To anyone downvoting me:

      You rightly despise the perpetrator and his actions, but if you advocate vigilante justice, you are showing just as little respect for the law and all the rules of human coexistence as he did. You should all be ashamed.

      all civilizational “achievement” happened because of slavery

      humans being extinct from the earth believe it or not is a net benefit for the planet. Human exceptionalists need to be reminded of that. So far, as a species, we fucking suck and do not have achievements worthy of universal praise. Everything good we have right now was because of needless suffering.

      We arent any better than bees on this earth. Name one human being thats more valuable net to this planet than bees, you know? You cant. Every human sucks compared to a bee. Bees rule, humans fucking drool man. We dont achieve, we steal and claim intelligence.
