My sympathy extends only to the extent that reading this story evokes in me a pathos for the human condition in general, rather than for these two bottom feeders in particular.
I like how you said that..
I can respect that.
I agree with most of what you wrote.

I do want to make a point about the word "evil".

Evil against evil, Gio.
I must say, I don't believe in evil. There is no scientific evidence to support the existence of any supernatural force, good or evil.
I think people do bad things.. But, I don't think it is because of any non-human entity. (evil)
I don't think having sex for money is "evil". It might be desperate, greedy, short sighted, and/or unhealthy.. But, I don't think it represents any supernatural force of negativity. (evil)
I don't think fighting for money is "evil". It might be desperate, barbaric, violent, and/or unhealthy.. But, I don't think it represents any supernatural force of negativity.

Just because a woman is a porn star or prostitute doesn't mean that she deserves a beating like this..
Prostitutes have provided sexual relief for man since the beginning of time.
They have a place in society.
If they are beaten, it should be because they stole, cheated, lied, etc.
Being a porn star with tattoos and a funny haircut might not be our ideal woman, but..
it is NOT a good enough reason to physically beat up a woman.
In my opinion.

The guy was stupid.
This was not worth it.

Just because a man fights for a living doesn't mean that we should think any less of him.
Men have been fighting for freedom, food, pussy, their lives, etc. since the dawn of time.

Quintus Curtius,
Don't get me wrong, I agree with 99% of what you wrote.
I just felt the need to share my perspective here.
I think these people definitely have some problems that I wouldn't want my children to have.
I might be a little more sympathetic towards them than you are but that is a matter of taste, really.
I have a soft spot for fighters and girls that like to suck dick.

In America: being a piece of shit human being > being a productive member of society
I respectfully, yet, strongly disagree.
A productive person will get much further in America compared to a "piece of shit human being", on average.
