CMV: People that enjoy seeing criminals "getting what they deserve" by being hurt, beat down or killed are just looking for excuses to enjoy people's suffering.

I'll never enjoy seeing someone getting hurt or killed no matter how "bad" of a person they are. even if they were literally Hitler.

It happens often on reddit that I see posts about vigilante violence, or for example bikes being left unsupervised and trapped to hurt the thief, and people in the comment section are all getting very excited about seeing a "bad person" getting hurt.

It is my opinion that they actually just enjoy seeing people suffering, and they need an excuse for it. It happening to a "bad person" enable it being "fine" instead of completely horrible.  


EDIT : I'd like to edit my CMV because I feel like most are not engaging with my actual opinion. This is not about "is vigilante justice fair or not"  
My opinion is that if you can enjoy the suffering of people you consider criminals, then you can enjoy people's suffering and just need an excuse to tell yourself it is okay.

People aren't excited for the violence and pain caused. They are excited by the fact that negative actions reap negative consequences.

If you're told to follow a set of rules, and everyone else around you seems to break them and nothing happens, then you'd feel it was unfair. That's basically a lot of politics in a nutshell these days.

So when someone immediately gets punished for breaking a rule, that's the thing we as a society are happy about. Obviously this scales. If you see a person who picks a fight get immediately decked, then that's an equitable punishment. If that same person gets murdered, then that's not something anyone wants.
