There is no purpose to a bad person suffering, but I’d be lying if I said would not feel gleeful catharsis if certain powerful people’s finger nails were ripped out, their eye’s gouged, their balls smashed, their individual teeth crushed and ripped out, their skin then flayed off their bodies, and then their whole bodies set on fire to finish them off.
Sure, but that’s exactly why people should not have the authority to decide punishments. Even if I agreed with you in this case, capricious torture would absolutely be used by the people we hate against the people we care about. Our first order of business should be to restore a functional justice system.

Please stop talking like that. This is like describing the most delicious hamburger to guys starving in a POW camp.
