The reason we have a justice system is to prevent mob justice, and revenge. Prisons in many countries are supposed to rehabilitate not punish. The USA justice system seems more about dealing punishment, than preventing crime or keeping society safe. The death penalty is one aspect of that. If it was really about protecting people, those that cut the jobs of the people that could have prevented 100+ deaths in Texas would be in jail. It’s about keeping the poor in place. The Epstein files will be interesting if released, as they will all be wealthy people, hurting children and the vulnerable. There won’t be any motive apart from desires and power. Should they not be punished?
I agree, but our justice system has clearly failed us. It’s extremely frustrating, which is why a lot of us are very emotionally charged for this issue.
I’m a complete hypocrite, as I believe justice should let some criminals walk free if it means no innocents are punished… but I also want the files unleashed. my guess is it’s because I know the people in there will be people I won’t like, but still extremely hypocritical and logically conflicting with my morals.
