    The cruelty is the point. Americans call it “justice”, but what they really mean is revenge porn. Of course, they murder innocent people as well, but they still insist it is a deterrent when regions with death penalties have higher murder rates than regions without.

    It’s not about deterrents or justice, it’s about power over people of color who can’t afford good legal representation.
