Well, the guy that John Frisch beat almost to death died later from his injuries in hospital, he only served A YEAR for that due to some technicality or something. His dying from being beaten to death does have a sense of 'eye for an eye' about it. Maybe somebody who loved the victim thought when they heard his sentence - 'Oh HELL no', and then just waited for his to release so that they could apply their own justice. Seems plausible to me. Dismembering him was probably just pragmatic/practical, a body is much easier to pack into containers and transport if it's not whole, and also it slows down identification. Seems like his life could be summed up by that scripture that says - 'live by the sword, die by the sword.'

Sad all around and it's cases like this that make me think of the 'web' of things, him dying violently and probably learning violence at somebody else's hands, his victim dying violently and perhaps being a violent person themselves, and all the people in their lives that lived by violence and all the people they hurt and the lives impacted by that, that led onwards to another group of people choosing violence and antisocial means to get by and so on and so forth. That ripple effect. No death occurs in a vacuum, particularly a violent death, and it's saddening to think of all the people negatively impacted and the courses of lives changed forever, even if it's only in subtle ways that perhaps people don't even recognize until it's too late.

A sobering train of thought that really impresses on you how dangerous that first act of violence is, because it knocks over the first in a chain of dominoes really, and nobody can predict it's end or whether it ever will end. In light of that I think it's probably wise for everybody just to be kind and respectful of others and just try really hard to get along, or just stay away from other people altogether if you don't think you can manage that. I think there'd be a lot less ugliness in the world if people did that.

In my country it's early morning, I've just woken up, and it is way too early for this kind of philosophical thinking lol. I need a cuppa tea.
