If you felt a shiver of satisfaction when you heard about DG's beating, don't feel guilty about it. No one can tell you how to feel. It's just that, a feeling. It has been a long, sad, shocking trial, and so much suffering has come about due to DG's depraved actions. We don't have to feel sympathy for him now. We can feel what we feel.
I support every prisoner's right to safety, legal counsel, etc. I supported DG's right to a vigorous defence. I support defence lawyers doing their job, and I'm glad they exist.
But - if I "feel" a little bit of pleasure, knowing DG had a scary moment at the remand centre, where 4 dudes jumped him and roughed him up enough to go to the hospital - my "feeling" has done not one thing to violate his rights. I didn't hire the ****s and ask them to pound DG. They'll face the consequences of their actions.
There are rules and procedures in place to keep prisoners safe. Like many rules and procedures, sometimes they get broken. The system can look at what went wrong, punish the offenders, and try to improve the situation so it doesn't happen again. I hope that happens. But I don't care if DG had a bad couple days.
