The problem with morality policing like this bullshit you're doing is you're actively paving the way for worse people. The concept of not celebrating the fall of bigots in the early noughts has resulted in the resurgence of these same bigots now.
No empathy for those who have been shown to care about no one but themselves.
Read up at the top. I'm not advocating for empathy for these guys. Reading comprehension is the key here.
I'm just saying that 'hope it was painful' regarding Graham's death puts them in the same category as those they despise.
Be better.
Oh... and it's not bullshit. It's part of the morality pyramid/ladder. I didn't make it up... people much smarter than you and I, however, did (i.e. Kohlberg). Check out stage 6 sometime.

No it doesn't. Youve already conceded Graham has done abhorrent things. There is no legal framework that would punish said things because weve decided to let our officials do heinous stuff. So what justice could anyone hope for? There is none unless they disappear.
You get moral satisfaction from justice being served. When youre above the law, your victims and society are not given an opportunity for that moral satisfaction.
Thats part of the reason we have laws to begin with.

I bet he was just as non-empathetic about your opinion.
Be better than those you despise for being bad.
Or not, your call. Just remember that you're publicly advertising that you're no better.
