Like I hinted to earlier: I accidentally killed some paki guy and I'm getting charged with using excessive force because I kicked him while he was on the ground. i live in the UK so even if they attack you, you can't just straight up kill them even if you're unarmed. The legal battle was pretty long and I'm only serving 3 years and can get parole after 11 months. Mainly because I don't have a history of violence unlike the guy and I'm also a little mentally unwell. I would've been locked up a while ago but I'm not a big priority so they're waiting for the virus stuff to be dealt with. He died of a “cerebral hemorrhage.”

There were a few people watching from a gym and I live in this area so I can't just run away and expect to get away with it. Someone clearly called the cops at the beginning of the fight because an officer was there pretty quick and apparently people saw that it was self defence so i wasn't tackled to the ground or put in cuffs.

I'm pretty pent up guy, I'd have to be to stomp someone's head into a Pakistani patty, so I didn't feel too upset about killing someone. I'm also a pretty self righteous guy, so being in justified in my actions and him being some scumbag known for "stealing iphones from libraries" makes me feel a sense of shameless pride. During my question they told me he died of a “cerebral hemorrhage” in the hospital and they asked me if I felt guilty upon hearing that: I obviously said yes, because I don't want to go the way of Meursault, but I'll be honest, I'm glad that fucker's dead and I felt no twinged of compassion seeing his ugly family crying about their loser son. I'm annoyed I have to go to jail or prison or whatever, but that's the price of righteousness. I'm not a particularly violent or aggressive individual and I'll keep my head down and do my time, however, if given the chance I would do it hundred more times; I am not a particularly impressive individual nor am I destined for greatness or even contentment, but I will forever always be willing to transgress that moral boundary to assert my belief in that criminals must be punished.

I'm a genuine loser so going to prison, as long as I can feed my bibliophilia, is just an inconvenience; my ambition died when Oxford turned me away and I didn't want to go to my second choice so i'm pretty apathetic to my own prosperity. However, killing that paki, even if he was just a small time annoyance, makes me feel like i've contributed more than I ever could have being a oxford bigshot. Thanks for the support. Hopefully I'll only have to serve a year, otherwise, I'll be out of the 4chan loop forever.

I understand this was just an aside but I must disagree: innocence naivete should never excuse the wicked's opportunism. I always blame the one who opens the door and not the one who leaves it unlocked. While I pity the foolish, I despise the evil who make cynicism common sense. The thought that even a library, a place that should be full of those who appreciate knowledge and learning, can be someone's hunting grounds makes me writhe in contempt. But it also strengthens my revolve.

I live in London and I've been jumped by pieces of shit like that before, and rarely do they have any intention of killing you, especially in OP's case over a cigarette. Also, pakis are almost universally scrawny and malnourished in London, I don't doubt for a second that OP posed far more of a threat to him than vice versa, especially if he was literally able to crush his skull.

Lol have you ever been in a fight? Your body is full of adrenaline, you're afraid and hurt and tired, exerting great force and keeping track of dozens of things. Its not exactly the time for contemplation, and you go by pure instinct, hitting something untill any threat disappears. Noobies at my gym are very timid, untill they get hit and start throwing max power overhead strikes. The measured application of violence takes a lot of skill and training, and usually a controlled environment. OP had none of these, only the choice to hurt or be hurt. I get why a cuck like you won't understand, but court should know better. Paying eleven months of your life for 60 years of his does seem like a fair trade though.

OP, hoe do your parents feel about this shit? Also, look up the curriculum of Yale for your Oxford study of choice, download it from libgen and put it on a e-reader. Or buy a few second hand. The meme rec's here are cool but get wearisome after a while. Godspeed

This is exactly my problem. You should feel remorse for ANY form of death. All life is precious, even the lives that you have no respect for. This is not something I would expect a psychopath to understand, but presumably 4chan attracts a lot of them.

>>15039141
>The measured application of violence takes a lot of skill and training
This has absolutely nothing to do with the excess of the crime OP described. There is incapacitating someone, and then there is going above and beyond what is necessary, and then feeling absolutely no remorse for it. Calling me a cuck is just indicative of your own grotesque amoralism, attempting to rationalise the behaviour of an incredibly unstable individual. Your attitude is utterly shameful.

>> No.15039317

>>15039287
>You should feel remorse for ANY form of death. All life is precious, even the lives that you have no respect for.

That's just not true. I can understand in a macro sense that life being extinguished is a sad waste, but I cannot carry the weight of every lost gadfly or foreigner on my shoulders. Humans have been especially able to continually rationalise and compartmentalise death for thousands of years, because it's all around us at all times. To assert some kind of overarching responsibility for someone to always have to fully process and suffer each time that occurs is childish and impractical at best.

A death of someone I know? I tragedy? Ten people are blown up in a terrorist attack in the Phillipines? I've almost processed and felt all the emotions I will ever feel for that event moments after I learn of it.

Also don't forget, remorse is not always instant. People change as do their attitudes. Right now OP might feel in the right, but in twenty years he may feel more of a connection to that dead paki than he had ever thought possible. Perhaps he'll become even more confident in his momentary decision. But your need to shame and guilt people in this thread because you feel some kind of emotional debt must always be paid when and where you deem most appropriate says more about you than it does about them.

It is not a responsibility to the other, nor should it be part of a practical concern. It is a matter of absolute moral integrity. One can feel a death is necessary and still mourn the fact that it was so.

>remorse is not always instant. People change as do their attitudes.
This is true, but I feel in the case of OP, who is not only unstable, but also has a very forceful sense of moralism for even minor infractions, and yet is unable to subject himself to the same scrutiny.. It seems highly unlikely. A clear trait of psychopathy is holding everyone else to an impossible standard, while failing to understand why they themselves should similarly be held accountable.

See above. This person's life was not a "cancer", whatever you might think. Utilitarianism does not and should not exclude the concept of remorse, regardless of how necessary the violence actually is. We are not beasts. We are capable of so much more

again, you are simply not getting it. Utilitarianism does not preclude the importance of the aesthetic experience of empathy. Neither do your so-called objective claims about whether or not the world was "improved". There is no proof I can give to you that will demonstrate this to you, it is a case of aesthetic sensitivity that you have either developed enough to appreciate what I am saying, or it has been stunted for whatever reason (your exposure to 4chan, most likely).

>>15039403
You do not get it either. Empathy is a muscle, like any of the other aesthetic faculties. Unless it is exercised, it will grow weak and ineffective. I do not claim to sympathise with every experience of suffering, but it is part of the ethical project to learn how to do so. This is why I said hypotheticals are entirely pointless.

>>15039414
Maybe I should've clarified– one should not feel remorse for stopping a shooting, one should feel remorse for having to end a life in order to do so. To celebrate death is to descend into the cold, unfeeling embrace of cynicism.

You are not fucking James Bond. You don't have the time and the clarity to think "Jee whiz, should I stomp on this hoodlum's face once, or maybe three kicks are needed to incapacitate this old chap". You just got kicked by a potential lethal threat and your lizard brain takes over and kicks his face in. You need training to override the lizard brain. Furthermore, this wasn't some American History X style execution, it was described as during the heat of the fight. In my country the difference between manslaughter and murder is defined by the opportunity for contemplation. Sure, the good Western archetype would feel deep remorse and shame for manslaughter and letting his bestial nature win. However, if the emotion of deep shame and heartfelt remorse isn't there, it isn't there. You can lie to yourself and probably should lie to appease moralists and the court system, but the lack of heartfelt remorse for letting natural consequences take its course is not some deep character flaw or sign of perversion. To quote a well learned scholar on the nature of violence ‘There are some assholes in the world that just need to be shot.’ Reading your further replies in this thread it is clear that you're an idealistic moralist who refuses all correspondence with the material world if it makes your moral system pretty.

That quote literally demonstrates the opposite of what you are saying. You're right, people with the perversion of psychopathy SHOULD be shot before their lack of inhibitions causes further harm to other people. I would mourn their death, but still consider it necessary.

Depends where you are. I spent six in the slam in California and there if you're white, some white guy asks you for your court papers, you show him, then he tells you the rules and you're protected. If he doesn't like what he sees in your papers, bad things happen, and you are not protected.

The racial hierarchy in prisons is like the caste system in India. It's everywhere. Yard time, there's a smoking order. Whites smoke first, then spics, then blacks, then anyone else. Blacks do not fuck with whites, because the Brand does not fuck around. You don't have to get tattooes or anything if you don't want to, and you're not going to have to do any gay shit (the Brand kills fags) but you might be asked to hide something or lie to the hacks.

Not to get to into it but one thing that happened was that I saw a woman kill herself in December: I was crossing the street and at the little stop in the middle, a woman was waiting to cross. She was around 30, not ugly or fat but generally unremarkable. The very bored look on her face is the only thing I noticed. So she turned her head and looked at me and then turned back towards the road. Less than a second later she stepped forward and got hit by a car. It was considered an accident, even though I said I thought it was a suicide but she wasn't depressed and her life wasn't that stressful. The driver wasn't charged with anything because it was 100% her fault for suddenly stepping out. That was the first time I saw someone die. I'm convinced she killed herself. Something about the way she looked at me.

I don't care about how remorseful he was about stealing iphones and smoking weed, it's inconsequential. It's about crime and punishment[:^)]. He received his and now I receive mine.

I think you have an interesting perspective, and maybe I was too eager to call you a psychopath (though that could be your innate psychopathic talents for persuasion, who knows?).

I do think it is sad though, perhaps if you were capable of being more empathetic, he may not have needed to die. While I appreciate that our fight-or-flight impulses are often overwhelming, I believe our capacity for empathy is precisely the mechanism that we evolved in order to keep those impulses in check. Without it, there is no reason why anyone would hold back from murdering someone they believed to be a threat. But the majority of violent acts do not end in manslaughter, most people are able to stop themselves before going too far, so you are likely something of an outlier in this regard.

>> No.15039816

The problem isn't the act of killing as I believe you can be overwhelmed with emotions enough to not fully realize what you are doing is beyond the realm of inflicting pains and into killing.

>A moral, cunning, ruthless and instructive, this piercing work distils three thousand years of the history of power into forty-eight well-explained laws. [...] Some laws require prudence (Law 1: "Never Outshine the Master") some stealth ("Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions"), and some othe total absence of mercy ("Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally"), but like it or not, all have applications in real-life situations.

Dear OP, the book might be a bit of an overkill, especially for the number of years you've been given. Some ex-prisoner interviews have occasionally brought this book up as something they had wished they read before serving sentences much longer than yours, which was why I recommended it.

In the american prison system I was in (Massachusetts) we could individually have monthly book catalogs sent to us, and we'd order books through that. Other than that, you'd need a family member or friend buying you a book through a certified dealer. They can't send you a book directly from them, it has to be through a certified business. That also means no ebay, either.

I hope my good old asshole holds out
60 years it's been mostly OK
Tho in Bolivia a fissure operation
survived the altiplano hospital--
a little blood, no polyps, occasionally
a small hemorrhoid
active, eager, receptive to phallus
coke bottle, candle, carrot
banana & fingers -
Now AIDS makes it shy, but still
eager to serve -
out with the dumps, in with the condom'd
orgasmic friend -
still rubbery muscular,
unashamed wide open for joy
But another 20 years who knows,
old folks got troubles everywhere -
necks, prostates, stomachs, joints--
Hope the old hole stays young
till death, relax

I don't deal with the catalogues, but I work(ed) at Barnes & Noble and we would have people come in to the store and order books for their (usually) children who are in jail/prison. They can't be hardcover. People mainly sent bibles. We mainly sent to local jails, not very often to federal penitentiary. The books have to be shipped from a warehouse and can't be sent personally for security reasons, which is why they use us. The jails don't always let books through for whatever reason. Might depend on the particular person processing them at the time or different rules and regulations depending on the jail.

I always feel badly for the parents. They're always quite embarrassed when they come in and ask us to place an order for their kid in jail. They just give us the jail address and the inmate identification number and we place the order and they'll have the book in a few days assuming the guards let it through.

Go outside for a long time every single day you have left. You're going to yearn for the sky more than you've yearned before. Spend time with what friends and family you have. Eat good food. As other anons have said, don't worry yourself with reading much right now. Inside, reading and calisthenics will occupy most of your time.

Don't let anyone have a position of authority over you. Don't owe anyone anything. Shower fast. Godspeed, bro.

Eat as much good food as you can now. I did 2 stints in my early 20s and the thing that got me was how much I hated the food. At one point I had maddening dream about eating steaks.

Talk to your friends a lot now because I can guarantee you that many of them will forget all about you after the first year.

Most importantly is dont be in debt to anyone and dont disrespect anyone. The worst violence I saw was always from these two things. Keep your head down and dont be a flashy idiot

I would imagine so, but parents send it as a gift. I think it's probably more for their peace of mind and it's so that they can feel like they're doing something for their kid. Must be a pretty helpless and shameful feeling having your child that you were supposedly responsible for in jail. It's a reflection on you and your parenting.

People are oddly particular about what version of the bible they send though. I had no idea how many versions of the bible there are until I started working at a book store. People are VERY picky when it comes to buying bibles.

The next most frequently purchased genre is Sci-Fi actually which I always find a bit odd for whatever reason.
