Another issue is VENGEANCE.
GOD IS VERY VERY CLEAR THAT
THAT
IS 100% HIS TURF. And He IS fiercely insistent on it.
I earnestly usually, by His Grace manage to say that I don’t want vengeance . . . or any such thing. I often add that I do want them to learn whatever God wants them to learn from the situation and related issues and facts. I ask Him to facilitate their learning in His way as soon as fitting.

Men are not to seek vengeance for themselves. But we have the early church's guidelines to help us deal with wrong-doers. We take the accused, assumed to be innocent, and bring him before the proper authorities who will review the evidence and render a ruling which is supposed to mirror the judgment of God.
That's how a Christian society works.
