I've said this so many times. It's awfully interesting that Reddit fucking screams about cops, prisons, and how the entire criminal justice system in America promotes capriciousness and punishment over solving problems...and yet so many threads about especially scary violent crimes are chock full of "I hope he gets ass-raped in prison" and "a life sentence isn't enough" and various excuses for vigilante behavior.

I've seen too many threads that were 90% on one side or another to accept this "but there's different groups of people on Reddit" stuff as a complete answer. I refuse to believe there isn't significant overlap between the readers of the two types of threads when I've not seen one "horrifying headline" thread where the clear majority was for mercy and therapy or one "cops are mean, justice system bad" thread where the clear majority was defending anything about the present justice system.
