“Eye for an eye is quite just”.
Okey doke...if we are all prepared to live by that law. But think about what you are saying and the affect on civilization as we know it in this country.
People have become too gutless to maintain civilization at all.
Where we once judged actions we now dither over whether we should judge at all.
We weep for the poor predator and say that if only his victim had not provoked him by being where he was then the tragedy would not have happened. The predator was just another victim. He should be given warm milk and cookies.
When someone suggests that maybe the predator should be dealt with so there are not more victims they are treated as the true villain.
And so for want of courage civilization is being lost as the predators become bolder and the protectors are silenced.
