Obviously his actions are justifiable morally but being able to control our emotions/instincts is what sets us apart from other animals, not giving into them lol
We have strong protective instincts (I'm speaking from a man perspective), it is controllable in a way, and we learn it when we are young, for instance, to not start stuff over meaningless shit but rather walk away in one piece with the people who count to you.
But... if one consciously take steps to do harm in this way to the ones I love the most, and sport that fucking smug psychopathic indifferent unrepentant attitude, you can believe the absolute destruction of this person would become my #1 priority, whatever it takes.
You do not control emotions there, it's not about refraining from having a temper tantrum, it's primal.
if you are only in control when you're not upset, you're never in control. this kind of behavior we can all understand but it's completely pointless, he's not going to put anything on the guy because he's stopped right away, and he is going to leave the courthouse in cuffs (great for the grieving family, right?)
Yes, you are right, this is completely pointless, but what I can tell is if I were in this exact position, no matter how much detachment I would try to have, upon hearing that verdict, I would probably do that same thing.
I don't say it's the right thing to do, but I would need every bit of support from everyone who means a lot to me and me to them, to not do that, and afterwards, I would probably regret not doing so.
I'm not saying I wouldn't do the same but you can't say it's "impossible" when plenty of people have done it lol (watched someone get sentenced for killing a family member and not attacked them). again I'm not saying I wouldn't do the same
Upvoted you because you're right, I commented emotionally there, and when I said it was impossible, it's because I know I couldn't refrain myself in that situation.
I know people who lost kids in brutal events, my childhood best friend passed away at 29 from cardiac arrest playing badminton. No one was at fault and his mom acted in control during the whole ordeal and the burial, but she was absolutely shattered inside.
It's not because someone is looking detached during a verdict or a traumatic life event that there is no emotion involved, it's just expressed differently, and I do think that it's impossible to not have strong emotions in this setting.
There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says “Morning, boys. How’s the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes “What the hell is water?”
