These people are not even human beings.
Any 'justice' we would pursue would likely end up being as bad as they are. Our basic human nature dictates this as an outcome, which is as immutable as the turning of the ocean tides.
On the other hand, *HIS* justice is perfect, untainted by basic human nature. On the whole, we *should* prefer this outcome.
FWIW, there was a time when I would wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments, but that was some years ago...

Daaamn, she would fit right in
Lois Lerner eyes. Machine-like. HAL. What's inside is oblivious to the implications of what it is doing. Humanity need not apply.
The Muslim Heaven is out of virgins and Hell is booking up fast. There’ll be room for this bitch though.
That is without a doubt a truly disgusting post.
We have delivered ourselves into the hands of criminals.
"When one sets out to destroy monsters, one must take care not to become a monster oneself, for when you look into the Abyss, the Abyss looks back at you." Nietzsche didn't get a whole lot of things right, but *THAT* was one of them, although I'm certain that the 'why' of it completely escaped him.
There is a reason that men develop systems of justice, and the reason is simply that vigilantism can easily get out of hand, and become a bigger problem than the problem it purports to cure. That said, yes, I agree that when routinely denied justice, men have a propensity to enact their own. I'll additionally state, that having been forced to do so, they are very apt to be brusque and roughshod in the manner of implementation. This is where justice becomes something else entirely, and is dangerous to all.
What is the answer?

Without meaning to your philosophy translates into doing NOTHING. An escape into a future world means that in this world millions of innocent children are murdered. Yes, it is risky to intervene yet everyone of those hung by the San Francisco and Los Angeles vigilantes deserved the hanging.
I never advocated doing nothing. I am as appalled as any other here by the recent revelations concerning Planned Parenthood. The difference between the two of us lies in what we are allowing to drive our response. Yours is apparently driven by emotion. Mine is more driven by logic.
We are in agreement that when 'official' justice is routinely denied or perverted, men have the propensity to enact their own. It is basic human nature, and as inevitable as the turning of the ocean tides. I've stated that. The point I'm desperately trying to make here, is that folks not let their justifiable outrage turn them from someone crated in God's image, to some *THING* authored by the Prince of Lies, himself.
The outrage can, and should give us purpose to oppose this barbarity, yet it should most emphatically *NOT* be the driving factor. Logic should be in the driver's seat here, not emotion.
yet everyone of those hung by the San Francisco and Los Angeles vigilantes deserved the hanging.
And you know this to be incontrovertible fact, how? The truth is, you don't know this to be a fact you merely assume so. My intense study of basic human nature (my participation here, is an intrinsic part of that study, among other reasons), leads me to understand that assertion may not necessarily be the case, although it may be painted as such...

You have no knowledge of California history see any history text on California. It was so bad in Los Angeles that the city hired a person to go around Sunday to pick up the bodies left from Friday and Saturday.
Logic depends upon the premises set forth whether explicit and/or implicit. Unfortunately by waiting for the next world one does nothing in this world. Doing nothing is no longer an option.
And the operative phrase there is "properly directed". What are *you* proposing to do? What is going to "properly direct" *your* understandable outrage? Somebody allowed their emotions to overrule their cognition and killed George Tiller right in a church. Was Tiller a monster? Yes, in my book he was, without a doubt. Hurrah! The monster was slain! All is right with the world now, as justice has been served!
I should not have to append sarcasm tags to the preceding three sentences. The final result of this emotion-driven action? Absolutely zilch, the slaughter continues. It is only by getting the public at large to see the ugly reality behind the benign sounding phrases of the pro abortionists that we can curtail the slaughter. This is what is being done, and it *IS* working, albeit slowly, perhaps too slowly for some.
You insist that I propose to do nothing. Not so. What is actually being done, by many committed Christians, is what I favor. It isn't flashy, no fire and brimstone, but it *HAS* been getting results. Will it end this execrable holocaust tomorrow, or next week, next month, next year? No, but there *IS* a light at the end of the tunnel. We have seen it in locality after locality, new statute after new statute, new poll favoring life after new poll favoring life.
It is only recently that we have been able to put some regulation on BigAbortion, who had from the inception of Roe v. Wade, less regulation than your neighborhood beauty parlor. That has now changed, and will continue to change, provided *we* who fight the fight, reign in our outrage, and not play into the Evil One's hand by allowing our emotion to overrule our cognition...

You know that a properly functioning human being through cognition sees acts or events, is aroused emotionally then acts.
To do nothing in the face of a great evil is to be a nothing a stone. When government fails people must intervene. See the American Revolution 1776.
