I would not. I would not be okay with anyone being stabbed in prison.
Prison shouldn't be about vengeance. I don't care how awful you are.
Okay but what about them getting stabbed outside of or inbetween prison?
How about not compounding murder with a second murder?
Maybe not murder, maiming yes murder nah. Death is to good for him.
Or... and hear me out here... we don't encourage violence?
I'm not encouraging any violence, but i sure am savoring the schadenfreude.
But how else will people feel morally superior to people they don't like if they don't flippantly wish violence and death on them?!
I don't even think it's a moral superiority thing. I think it's this idea that people should get what they deserve. Of course, this both ignores that "what they deserve" is entirely subjective and that who should get what they deserve is entirely subjective.
At the same time people are celebrating Chauvin being stabbed in prison, or harmed elsewhere there can easily be found instances of conservatives celebrating when someone they don't like gets stabbed in prison or harmed elsewhere. People on the left were aghast at Republican celebrations of Paul Pelosi being attacked with a hammer. The right thinks he deserved to be attacked because he's a bad, bad man and he got what he deserved.
Maybe no one should get what they deserve. Maybe justice and vengeance should be two different things and we should strive for one without the other.
