What do you mean by this? Should people who cause incalculable harm to others not be removed from their position to cause harm?
Literally celebrating the murder of a person is what I mean.
Listen Batman, the world isnt black and white. A man who has harmed millions has seen punishment for harming millions. Whether or not you find it just because a judge, jury, and prosecution didn't get to decide on that punishment according to some made up rules is your opinion. It does not speak to the "true colors" of the oppressed groups who are affected by the bullshit machine that is US healthcare.
Even if the penalty (death) can be morally justified it still shouldn't be celebrated. Also, I oppose death penalty - the people celebrating this have no moral standing to oppose it too. They're on the wrong side of history in my view.
there was nothing short of death that would stop that man from continuing to deny the right to live of millions of people. Money rules the world, do you think even if found guilty of genocide he'd face prison time? Do you think even if he was, miraculously, put in prison he'd go some place else but the most luxurious prison available for the shortest amount of time possible?
How many million dollar bottles of champagne do you think he drank with the money that he denied those who put their lives in his hands? Is that not a celebration of their deaths?
How is it wrong, to feel satisfaction that he finally met the fate he wrote for himself?
Law is typically enforced at the end of a gun. If the government won't do anything to stop these people, someone else will.
I usually wouldn't, but I do celebrate justice. I prefer it when people don't need to be harmed, but sometimes there isn't another option. For example, Hitler dying I think was great. I would have preferred him to be murdered earlier in fact. Let me know if you disagree with that.
Our justice system is fundamentally flawed. The wealthy will never see justice through the justice system. The system exists so that when injustice is done people don't need to seek justice on their own. The system is supposed to handle it. When that system no longer works towards this purpose, it requires a new justice system. The wealthy need to be made to realize that subverting the justice system to protect themselves from it puts them in danger. Until it's fixed, I welcome justice in this form as well.
