RE: Schadenfreude jamboree.

I’m not soft on crime.
Still amazing that the English language had to borrow that wonderful word from elsewhere.

The German language has a way of expressing an exacting summary judgment. It’s quite wonderful.

Well, there is an English language equivalent but Schadenfreude is easier than “hoisted on his own petard.
