Re: Jason W/Gwen R
You're super jaded. The system isn't as bad as you think it is. It's not perfect, but it's made to ensure we don't kill innocent people, and it still errs in that regard. [She provides two links: One and Two.]
If we've made that many mistakes, that we're aware of, with a system that ensures fairness and chain of evidence, then imagine how many mistakes a lone vigilante, emotionally motivated and without any information but their own opinions, can make.
The system exists for a reason, even if you think it isn't perfect. Killing someone is murder, and it doesn't solve anything. Two wrongs don't make a right, even when it comes to something like this. Okay, leave the criminal at the jail, but don't kill them. No one person should determine who lives and who dies.
