I’m not sure they’re meaning it should be the point, but that our system, as designed, is to inflict as much harm (not justice) as we can on people that we thin

They may not agree with it morally at all, but that could be what they see.
- lostcolony 6y agoYeah, I took it as an indictment of the current system, not a defense of it. If they'd meant it to be a defense they likely would have said something like "if you can't do the time don't do the crime" and "It's called consequences", and other neutral to positive phrases. 'Cruelty' is generally considered a negative term; to apply it to something else is usually to pass judgement on that something else.
