Do you think it's normal to have a sadistic streak?

I'm a really nice guy, I don't wish harm upon any of my friends, family or animals. Heck I'll feel sad if I accidentally kill a wasp trying to get it out.

But say if someone kills a buncha people, they kill their family and kids, and say they'd do it again and that they enjoyed doing it.. let's just say I'd get really giddy at the thought of strapping them to an electric chair without the sponge. If someone is a murderer my empathy for them shuts off completely. And I get really annoyed when terrorists and killers aren't punished. Watching ISIS militants get blown up gets me giddy too.

Doesn't apply to felons like drug dealers etc, but reading and watching killers be in pain/suffering amuses me. That Green Mile scene didn't even disturb me. It isn't a new or recent thing either, I remember being like 8 or 9 and watching a documentary on Ted Bundy. The ending where he gets executed made me feel so happy lol

Which Green Mile scene?

I guess it's normal for Americans and/or conservative folk. I'm going into the death industry and I don't take pleasure in anyone's death, or them dying. Sure, even when I was a young edgelord, I'd gloat, like yourself, over how much torture I could watch, but it's not something to be proud of, even if it's the torture of a convicted felon.
Maybe once you've been around bodies, grieving families, and the entire process, you'll think differently.

@WillyTheWizz I'm a survivor of rape, and my best friend was murdered when I was 16...I don't wish death on any of them. And not because I'm afraid of some karma nonsense, but because I understand death. Each year it gets harder and harder to talk to people about death and dying when they're on the outside of this particular spectrum.
Like I said before, killing a killer won't bring back his victims. Killing the man who killed my best friend, won't bring her back. Killing my rapist, and the man that victimized me for 3 years, won't take my pain away. He'll feel nothing after death, he will have learned nothing, and another life will be lost. The victims are left to their pain and you've just pardoned the perpetrator by killing him.
If suffering is what you're hot in the pants for, let them rot in prison. I'd much rather know they'll never get out and have to live every day remembering what they did, hiding from general population in prison.
