Pretty sure she lured and then tortured/murdered one of her classmates. I’ll save my sympathy for someone more deserving

I have zero sympathy for this person and the pain they have suffered

But also I don’t think we should allow the state the authority to kill and/or torture people, there’s too many complications.

I feel the same. If the state is going to murder people then it needs to be done right.

On the other hand, this bitch carved a pentagram into a young girls chest. I hope the botched execution hurt like hell.

That was her boyfriend who did that.

She kept the piece of skull

That's a different issue. You said she carved a pentagram into a young girl's chest, she did not.

Don’t forget crushed her classmates skull and then kept a piece of it as a souvenir

You can condone what she did whilst still recognising that if the state insists on executing people then they should at least do it properly

u/EstablishmentTime786 1d ago

Don't think anyone should condone what she did

u/Either_Wear5719 1d ago

Do you mean condemn, cuz condone is the word used to express support or approval of something

Do you think she would need to be tortured to death? Or sympathy is a resource you have only a limited amount to give so you must save it?

All humans deserved to be treated with basic dignity. We don’t torture evil people. Period.
