Exactly. We don't care much if we lose material things because we don't even want to have too many possessions. Possessions make people unhappy because they want more and more and more. Happiness lies in simplicity. We learn, from early age, that we shouldn't strive to acquire much but be happy with few things. One friend made some money with his farm (he grows fruit like pears and apples) and for a while he thought he should buy a bigger car. He just owned a truck for his work and a little Fiat for pleasure. He said he'd buy a big Honda. We talked to him out of it. We told him that he'd have to spend more money for fuel, more money for insurance, and, what's worse, he'd drive longer distances and pollute the environment more but also be worried that someone might steal his fancy Honda. He understood that a worry-free life is much more important than a bigger car.

We like to live peacefully and not own much, not eat much, not have big houses. Possessions, we know, make you a slave, just like drugs do. In fact, one of the reasons that people take drugs is because they may have lost 1 million out of their dozens of millions. The more you have, the more you worry, the more anxious you are, the more guns you collect, the more drugs you take, the more unfulfilling your life is. Having nothing is of course terrible, but having a lot is equally bad. So there's an optimum. If one has a little money, enough food to eat, few posessions and lots of friends then one is maximally happy.

That's ok man. I understand that you and all Americans need guns. Have them. That's fine. You live in a kind of society where violence is the norm, not the exception.

That's because you have too many people in prison. You have the biggest prison population in the world, 2,193,798 and the biggest imprisonment rate 737/100,000. It would be too expensive to even try to rehabilitate them.
The problem is that recidivism is than very high as well, so the prison population doesn't go down. It's a perpetuating cycle.

It does strike me how you compare a bad cop with a child molester. Chauvin is bad, but he is also a victim of your system. Less than Floyd, but still worthy of some sympathy. He might be a bit easier to rehabilitate than a child molester.

And yet ,the judge saw fit to seal the jurist id's for 6 months. I hoped it could be longer for their safety.
There is major issues with this whole event.and calling it murder does not solve anything.
