A palliative care nurse in Germany has been sentenced to life in prison after he was convicted of the murder of 10 patients and the attempted murder of 27 others.

Prosecutors alleged that the man, who has not been publicly named, injected his mostly elderly patients with painkillers or sedatives in an effort to ease his workload during shifts overnight.

The offences were committed between December 2023 and May 2024 in a hospital in Wuerselen, in western Germany.

They go hand in hand. They're stupid and easily manipulated; malicious people convince them that they're the good guys for doing evil shit; dumbasses take that at face value and cheer at things like families being torn apart or pregnant women dying from an intrauterine fetal death that should have been an abortion months earlier, etc. They might not recognize that what they're doing is evil, cuz they're fucking stupid, but at the end of the day they've been programmed to absolutely love committing and advocating for evil.
