How can I Access that kind of inspiration?

I partially agree - of course no one should disparage a victim for an honest reaction. However,

  1. her one recorded reaction on one day doesn't align with the months of hateful shit she spews and literally defending SA perpetrators, so it honestly doesn't seem authentic.

  2. being an SA victim doesn't give you a pass for life to be a piece of shit.

It's really hard to have empathy for a person who exhibits none themselves. She seems less human. The schadenfruede (sp?) of her suffering is a lot easier when it's someone who has themselves deliberately caused so much suffering.

I mean, not to overplay an analogy, but when a mass shooter is killed nobody says "I hope they didn't suffer."

For one thing - it's not just one grenade. I said it 3 times: grenades. Say, scattered all around the playground and classroom.

I'm not asking who is responsible. Knowing who is responsible isn't going to stop the ankle-biters from blowing each other - and themselves - to smithereens. It doesn't matter who is responsible right now - first we need to stop them from exploding.

I'm asking what the better solution to the problem would be: should we try to separate the kids from the grenades, or try to teach 5-year olds the proper use and care of handheld explosives?

Let's say we have 2 kindergarten classes, and in one of them we let them play with balls, Frisbees, and playground equipment. In the other, we let them play with balls, Frisbees, playground equipment, and grenades.

If some of these tykes get exploded, do you think it would make more sense to limit their access to the grenades, or to try to teach them how to use the grenades responsibly?

But they're facing global condemnation. Some world leaders are furiously frowning at them!

They even have to endure CRITICISM. Can you even imagine such punishment?

Which is weird because the Daily Beast usually goes way overboard with the clickbait headlines...almost every time Trump tweets a response to criticism he's "melting down" or he's "raging" or it's a "deranged rant".

The prison industrial complex was the status quo long before Biden was even born. Why limit it to him? Blame Nixon and Reagan for both the drug epidemic and the criminalization of drug possession (accounting for something like 40% of the current prison population), and the near collapse of mental health and rehabilitation programs. Blame Clinton for enabling the corporations to grow even richer off of slave labor.

"I had no idea it would do that. It was a gift/I found it at a thrift store/estate sale/in the trash."

If you take away the intent, and with no obvious signs that your shirt is anything other than clothing, I don't know that it would be.
