Justice or revenge?
What are you looking for?
Laws can and will be changed, maybe not to your amusement or liking . . .

Sometimes they are one in the same.

Call it a double benefit. Like a dessert that's also good for you.

Impartial, just, correct . . .which is the hardest to do?
Cultural aspects will determine what a society will do in all cases.

Ted Nugent articulates my sentiments a lot more clearly than I.

The true problem is we've become too soft! We applaud politicans who pass restrictive laws to protect us. In truth, they are just seeking more and more power to control the honest citizens. Criminals do not follow any laws and prey on the law abiding because we expect to be protected by the police and government.

The Supreme Court as said that, "the police are NOT obligated to protect." This means to me that they only enforce the law...after the fact. Case in point, is when you shoot an intruder in your home and kill him. You will be arrested! The intruder's family then will sue you. Who's the victim? The criminal has designated you the victim and the police will enforce that decision.

Several years ago my wife had stopped at the store for some milk. While inside two drunks drove into my wife's car. The police were called and after responding told my wife that they couldn't file any report being on the private property of the store. They went on to tell all parties involved to drive to the local police station and report the accident there. My wife didn't know where the police station was so they told my wife, after exchanging names, to follow them to the station. They then drove to a street near by and stopped pulled my wife from her car. They punched her and kicked her then stole her purse.

The two were extremely intoxicated in the presence of a police officer who encouraged them to drive to the station! My wife was a victim and with the help of the police she stayed a victim.

I know many good cops and their struggles to do a good job. I also know this was a one in a million event but it still raises the hair on my neck.
