Would you not sing a different tune if your family were murdered by a deranged person who was allowed to go free after having been captured because of a failure in the justice system?
Of course, the answer is yes in both cases, isn't it?  |
That depends on how strong your principles are re human rights and justice versus your emotions, hatred and revenge. If the latter is stronger...well, then you do not need a justice system. You need a lych mob.
It is one thing to be in a situation of your family having been killed and then asking for revenge. It is another if you are not affected and cry for revenge nevertheless. Thus begins the spiral of violence and injustice getting out of control. |
Gitmo and the case I brought up are both cases of failed justice systems. The case I brought up had absolutely nothing to do with revenge. It had to do with how one would feel about a failure of the justice system. Personally, again, I'll state that there can be no perfect justice system until there are perfect human beings (an unlikelihood).
