I have no idea what article you are talking about but as a Freeper I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have read past the title if I did. I am familiar with your sheepdog metaphor and always enjoy listening to old cops and soldiers talk about how they spent their lives protecting us sheep from the evils out there in the big, bad world. You know, the evil that we just can't handle.

In one of your earlier posts on this thread you told people not to be in such a hurry to see sausage being made and that we shouldn't worry because there are lots of sheepdogs out there making sure that justice is being done.... Well, that's nice to know and it's also a bunch of crap. Justice is served up in the light. I think revenge might be a better word for what your sheepdogs are meting out but if us poor sheeps' sensibilities and feelings are your justification for hiding the just punishments of traitors then I don't think you understand what justice is and why it is required.

Here is the article link again.
On Sheep, Wolves, and Sheepdogs - Dave Grossman

Read the fine article. Being a sheepdog is NOT about lifting up the sheepdog. It is about protecting the fine sheep from harm in whatever form that harm might take.

From your post you seem to be of the opinion that:
1. If you can't see Justice being served it isn't happening. Justice takes many forms. It is only incidentally related to the laws on the books.
2. If you can't see justice being served it isn't being served.
3. You want to see it all regardless of the emotional harm it may cause to anyone else.

It appears that revenge is what you seek, collateral damage be damned. In this you are straying far too close to being the wolf you want punished rather than a sheep or sheepdog.
