Well no, i dont mean for mine or anybody elses satisfaction. I meant so that these cretins can feel what its like to feel physical pain, which is similar to what the victims family feel emotionally. Im not a sadist or anything, i just think that these thugs deserve a punishment thats fitting to their crimes.
And eye for an eye
