I don't think we should hope that things are painful for others. We should hope that justice is done. Justice is not about revenge. And comments like these make it out to be.

If revenge bothers you, you can rest assured that it was not the justice system which caused this man's pain, he did it to himself. I hope it hurt at least as much as the gunshot that the poor victim suffered. Also, I have no problem with revenge, as punishment is a big part of our justice system.

Justice is not about revenge.

It may not be about OUR revenge, but it is sometimes about God's vengeance. He does sometimes use the state for that...
