^ There are other perspectives on justice than your own. And for the record, I merely would understand why someone would go through with it if they were facing a life sentence as we have described, I wasn't discussing or even giving an opinion on what I feel is right or wrong in that scenario.
Also, you're making the mistake of assuming that someone who obviously didn't care for others rights would care if his/her checking out prior to experiencing a piece of what they did met the standard of justice in the majority's eyes. They wouldn't, they're obviously extremely selfish to begin with.
You can't say you wouldn't understand in full why they'd do it and how it's very different from a suicide over something fixable(which is attributed to pure weakness and therefore very hard to respectfully understand) and in putting yourself in their shoes, wouldn't consider the option yourself.
If you were facing this, would you... or expect another facing it to consider moral justice as a deciding factor?
Besides, if that piece of garbage did off himself, it'd save a little on the economic things. Maybe the western world should re-think things and give suicide as an option if dealt a life sentence, the economic waste on housing an otherwise now useless waste of resources is too great for old world views on justice. There is a reason why eye for an eye became outdated.
