In your opinion, is this kind of speech okay?

Maybe to further elaborate what I mean by it being “okay:” is this speech that we should discourage? Do we have a responsibility to discourage or even censor this kind of speech?

It is not tactful but otherwise ok. When we try to protect people from being “offended” then we eventually adopt newspeak and lose free speech.

I’m not concerned that it’s offensive. I think it’s inhumane.

Wow. I had not heard about this. I know how you feel though. I don’t condone censorship, but I do agree that some moderation of speech should be expected t Kind of like hate mongering, or how Drumpf speaks to incite violence. Where do you draw the line? I personally think that reason and logic should prevail. Those comments seem to me to be pre riot speech. Riots get out of hand and atrocities are committed when there is a mob mentality in control. I still believe that Ayahuasca is a viable rehabilitator, but that’s another discussion.
But the goal of prison, I thought, was not only punishment but rehabilitation. Don’t we want people who commit crimes to realize what they did wrong? The full extent of their acts, and to be genuinely remorseful, repentant and penitent? Isn’t that the root of the word penitentiary? There seems to have been precious little of that in the history of our country, we’re more about revenge and making them pay. And it is “them”, as in separate from “us”.
Let me just give some space here to a wise man about crime;
”...Oftentimes have I heard you speak of one who commits a wrong as though he were not one of you, but a stranger unto you and an intruder upon your world.
But I say that even as the holy and righteous cannot rise beyond the highest which is in each one of you,
so the wicked and weak cannot fall lower than the lowest which is in you also.
And as a single leaf turns not yellow but with the silent knowledge of the whole tree,
so the wrongdoer cannot do wrong without the hidden will of you all.”
K Gibran
I believe that this is why we are so vociferous in our condemnation of others who commit such heinous crimes. We seek to distance ourselves because on some level, this truth is known to us. We are all culpable on some level.

Given an anonymous outlet, seething hateful losers lash out like this.

It’s pretty much the norm on the Internet.

Yes.

@SecondHandStoke care to elaborate why you think so?

Of course it’s not, but the provocative nature of the statements should be translated as a horrified public venting initial fury, which is absolutely understandable, although a little skewed
Kill the evil bitch “legally” & your conscience is clean

I understand what you are saying. I think there is something wrong with people who can think up this kind of mean stuff.
