So this video popped up on my YouTube feed. WARNING: copoganda, murder, discussion of domestic violence. The tldr is that the woman accidentally killed her boyfriend, the boyfriend got arrested for a few domestic violence calls so 🤷, but then the woman goes completely white lady on the situation and denies any responsibility and argues every point like a 5 year old. Her lawyers all quit because they can't stand her, and people are chiming in the comments that they knew her IRL and that she was a massive a-hole in her town. One lawyer quit over professional differences, and other lawyers quit for different reasons.
I sorta think that maybe this woman sucks, but locking her in a box for 40 years isn't gong to help anything.
I will mention that I've been burnt hard by narcissists in the past. But once I've learned to spot them, they're just often sad. There's a few in my various communities, and we all just sorta manage and ignore them. Oh, maybe I'm wrong, but they often seem more rich than the general population.
Hate's not too useful imo, except to make war slightly easier when it's in progress
I'd say everyone deserves support and pity. I'll always support an abuse victim over their abuser, including if they kill them as is their sacred right, but my top priority in how to handle the abuser is to indefinitely protect potential victims from them. My second priority is to give them opportunities to grow, whether or not they take them
Punishment isn't on my priority list at all. Fuck, even with all the CEOs I'd love to see hangin' out like Mussolini, I don't think it would be good to take the revenge route. Not that I'd complain, but I think a government should be more compassionate than I am as a person
