The world hates pedophiles, a great deal of people I know think that they deserve to die in jail.

So why is everyone so upset that Epstein was killed in jail by the government?

I think he deserved it. That’s my opinion

    I’d imagine, if he was killed, it was to stop him testifying against all the other paedophiles he enabled, in order to get a reduced sentence. Unsurprisingly, this scenario annoys people.

    Yeah me too, people are upset because it was clearly a coverup.

    Nobody gives a shit about Epstein, that isn’t where all the smoke is coming from.

    Setting aside Epstein, why are you ok with the idea that the government you support financially is murdering people who’ve been jailed pre-trial? (Not saying that’s what happened; just thinking through the scenario OP suggested)

    That’s a shocking line for many people

    First of all, what makes you think he was killed by a government? It’s all speculation at this point.

    The only thing that is certain is that his death is very convenient, to a lot of very rich, very well connected people who may or may not have organized to allow him to be “suicided” in jail. Most of these people probably did not want him to reveal that they also were pedophiles, and that they had sex with very young children that Epstein procured for them.

    But beyond that, there is the question of justice, and the fact that victims did not get it, and other guilty parties were not judged.

    In other words, money and power can protect you from the law. This is what riles people off. Epstein is dead, but justice has not been served.
