I don't even kill spiders. It's hard to look at that photo and understand, how this young adult even considered doing this. What broke him like that? Maybe, instead of killing him, we can somehow guarantee no new guys like him would happen. Not in a genetic crime bullshit fashion, but in providing psychological services, making regular checks, noticing them and reaching out before they act like that? He's a fucking idiot, but also a guy that fell through many safety nets proving them ineffective.

That's not how the prison industry works. There's no money in fixing people if you can use them as unpaid labour.

"prison industry" - I like that

I write about what can be done before the bloodshed and the prison sentence. But yeah, the next logical step is to look into these fuckers too.

People who feel like they have nothing to live for often take their frustration out on others.

It's like they know their lives suck and likely won't get better, so they focus on making other people's lives worse because it's literally all they feel they can do.

I don't think people realize how true this is. People like this are a symptom of society failing them, not them failing society.

It is these people that need love and compassion the most. Preferably before they go crazy.

How are those mutually exclusive? Do you think killing him will make him respawn somewhere?

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

What's that thing you gamers do where you hang around the respawn area and kill people as they come back?

[-] SomeSphinx@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Spawncamping, not sure how that'd work here though.
