    I understand the desire. But two wrongs don’t make a right.

    For example, I’m also against the jokes about prison rape. I don’t care who you are, you don’t deserve to be repeatedly raped because you committed a crime.

    Edit the point is that feeling of seeking retribution is natural. You want “bad” people to get the very worst of life. But if for nothing else it’s best not to act on those thoughts because we wouldn’t want that “retribution” brought upon others or even ourselves.

      Sure but taking the high road has done nothing but embolden the right. It’s past time of playing nice.
