    They can spent months protecting pedophiles in the Epstein files, but can’t spare the time for very serious strings of cases like this?

    Yo, fuck those people. A few youtube docs informed my opinion on the group. Seriously, all should be jailed with permanent internet restrictions.

    I am also a misanthropist. And to clear that up, not all misanthropists hate humans and want them to suffer. I see humanity as a mistake, a virus, a plague. And it’s also it’s own worst enemy.

    Doesn’t mean I want everyone dead. I actually help people And am said to be the nicest mofo. E.g. I spend my day working for free in a shelter for the abused. Picking up the pieces others created. And I also spend a ton helping people up, e.g. getting a new apartment, a job, a few thousands to start anew etc.

    Long story short, being misanthropist isn’t inherently an evil thing. Just a logic conclusion. If you add the usual dark tetrad of personality traits to it, then it won’t help.

        Can we maybe acknowledge for 3 seconds that people are human, have human reactions, and a very common one upon seeing for the first time truly evil people who have done truly evil things is to wish bad things upon them as a knee jerk response, and that this probably doesn’t really inform their actual desired policies instead of just making a pithy reddit-snark response that ignores that context and blames them for that very human reaction?

          knee jerk response […] this probably doesn’t really inform their actual desired policies

          They continue advocating he be tortured in prison in their next comment nine hours after their first (along with the dumbest fucking strawman I’ve seen this month, equating to not wanting torture in prisons to wanting him released without consequence), so actually, I do think they’re short-sighted enough to unironically advocate for torture in US prisons.

          You know where Anders Brevik is right now? A long-term, high-security Norwegian prison with a capacity of 160 – hardly 2x the number of people he personally killed in a neo-Nazi mass-shooting – where among other things: “As far as practicable [this does not apply to Brevik, IIRC, because it’s not practicable for him, but for context for what you’d expect to be the hardest prison in Norway], inmates shall have access to community during work, training, program or other interventions, and during their free time.” You know what that doesn’t change? What Anders Brevik is doing right now 15 years later: continuing to spend the rest of his life in prison away from the rest of society. The way it should be, not because of specific moral consideration for Anders Brevik but because it’s the only way to have a functioning prison system.

          You think it’s “human” to advocate giving the government – this government, I’ll add – carte blanche to torture people; I think it’s abjectly inhuman. If you’re advocating rape in prisons, if you’re advocating torture in prisons, show some basic, human emotional maturity and consider what your foaming at the mouth for prisons to be hellholes does to society.

        So you’re saying this guy’s actions are excusable and OK? He should get preferential treatment and, who knows, a pardon from Trump, right?!

        A 77 year sentence is a long time to dwell on things. But is there a possibility of early parole for good behavior? These are the types of people are really don’t want on our streets.

        To have harmed 2500+ girls is worse than murder IMO, only bc he convinced several to kill themselves. Kids that could’ve otherwise grown up successful or happy. To not only inflict this sort of pain and anguish, but then share it online for others to see and possibly even envy… 🤮 yeah, sorry, this guy getting a microscopic dose of his own medicine in prison might help him see things in a new light; not that I expect him to be normal.

        Why would what I say be part of the problem? This guy suffering in prison would strictly be an outcome of his own actions that put him there. I’m not saying I want to torture this guy myself in the way he tortured others.

    In 2023, Spitze provoked his mother’s boyfriend into shooting him inside their home, prosecutors said.

    Very weird framing that seems to imply if you just annoy someone too much they have no choice but to shoot you?

      Provoking doesn’t necessarily mean annoying. It could be threats, aggression, bragging about his crimes… anything that might make a person want to shoot this guy. And to be fair, this article kinda makes one want to shoot this guy

        None of that legally justifies shooting someone. There is only one justifiable reason to shoot someone and that is the save your own or another’s life. And if that is what they meant by “provoke” why not say that?

        You may want to shoot someone for all kinds of reasons but we don’t need our media normalizing those kinds of deranged ideas.

          No it’s not. I’ve known lots of people with bad hair and acne who are not sadistic monsters that torture young girls. As it happens, appearance actually has nothing to do with antisocial behavior. That sort of thinking is the very foundation of racism and discarded pseudosciences like phrenology.

        You don’t need to judge them for their looks but you can certainly judge looks. This dude looks like classic meth face, which is not usually associated with being a moral and successful human being.

          Moral and successful? Even if this guy was addicted to meth (which you don’t know) it’s one of the most addictive drugs on the planet. Being an addict doesn’t make anyone less of a person.

      And people like you bullied him into becoming what he is. Not excusing what he did, but if people weren’t people’s worst enemy, things like that would happen less often.

      And especially insecure poor intellectually challenged dumdums like yourself, that can only heighten themselves by downing others, are one of the worst things humanity has to offer.

      Judge people by what they’re doing, not by how they look or other things they have absolutely no control over. Jeez, what are you? 12? Grow up man, and hurry.

      Watch what your kids are doing online folks.

      At least this is correct.

        I love that you’re getting down-voted for pointing out something so obviously true. Why the hell would anyone bother to attack this lunatic for his appearance rather than his sadistic, antisocial behavior? The man used psychological torture and threats to manipulate young girls into physically torturing themselves and animals but the best that poster could come up with is to mock the guy’s hair and complexion.

          Exactly. He’s a disgusting piece of human garbage. But surely not because he looks like that.

          But I couldn’t care less about some angry down voters who just click rather than tell. Though that already tells a lot in itself 😁

        american culture is broadly toxic but we mostly focus on racism/misogyny, and for some reason the overweight get a pass.

        it’s more of a choice to be fat than to be bald, but it’s ok to tell bald guys they’re undatable losers. it’s almost encouraged.

        i’m aware of this but STILL think these things when i come into contact with someone i see as lesser. we’re programmed to be shitty.

          Oh that’s not just us-american. We’re (Germany) aren’t different. Except we also shame fat. Which often really isn’t a choice. And even if it is, It’s rarely “HM, I think I really wanna be fat!”.

          But hey, at least you’re honest. also there’s a vast difference between thinking that (because it’s a thing that comes to mind, as we are nicely trained city-apes) and acting upon that impulse. I assume you don’t bully someone while being fully aware you’re bullying.
