That’s true, I haven’t, and I honestly can’t say how I would feel in that case. However, I’d like to think I could offer forgiveness. I’m not saying I don’t want severe punishment, but I’m not the type to demand an eye for an eye.
I feel as you do.
I’ve had it happen to me, growing up in Governor Carey’s New York. I remember a murdering bastard being let out in seven years to terrorize his old neighborhood and I realized that that bastard Carey didn’t give a shit about people like me.
Every time one of these murdering bastards gets it, my heart skips a beat.
“I’m not the type to demand an eye for an eye.”
OK, and I respect your respect (which is fine and good). I don’t celebrate per se; it’s more of a somber realization that discipline must be carried out.
Meanwhile: you can’t demand eye-for-eye here; there were some 12 dead victims (more injured), and only 2 perps. But I’d frankly be satisfied with that.
Quit the navel gazing, bud and man up. We're at war, it's us or them.
Go clean your field gear and be ready for inspection at 0200.
