You have a realistic take. Some have said Justice will be served, in default of justice being administered by the organized State, the people will pick up the slack. (The sole danger being passion can lead the people to harm the innocent.)
"passion can lead the people to harm the innocent"
I totally agree .. that is a very real danger.
But .. what I see that happening today is because the liberals have distroted the criminal justice system to where there is very little justice for some of the most heinous crimes. I think Americans are fed up with these perps being allowed to roam free on the streets to victimize our children and other family members.
I don't agree with O'Reilly on many things, but his latest effort to get each state to adopt Jessica's law is very noble. And .. it's getting a lot of resistance. One judge recently sentenced a guy to 5 years probation for molesting 11 children. So, I can see why people are starting to take matters into their own hands.
I'm not saying I think that's a good thing .. it's just that I can understand why it's happening.
