THEREIN lies the problem.
THAT is exactly what is so crazy about all this.
(((THEY))) go out of their way to impose the cruelest, harshest treatment on the innocent and have no apparent heart/feelings/remorse about what they have done.
WE worry that we might like an extremely harsh punishment or a death sentence, and then feel guilty that maybe we have gone too far/asked for too much. WE lead with our feels/emotions.
If you ever have a problem telling Good vs Evil folks apart…. look for their emotions.
