It's pretty important to dehumanize and de-empathize with people who offend or break the law. A good justice system and society is built in doling out punishments without reflection or understanding.
- tinycombinator 3y agoI see the valid point you make about how civilization should strive to be above cruel, black/white judgement and ideally encourage empathy towards others in order to be considered just. But I also can't argue against an average citizen not having enough empathy/attention to give (from the limited pool we all have) to one of the biggest and most infamous con artists of our time. It's not like she's in there for just doing drugs. Law should not be one's entire moral compass, but the things she did are undeniably extreme.
