A fair example of 'comeuppance'

Anthony Stockelman, an inmate at Wabash Valley Correctional Facility, was forcibly tattooed across his forehead with the words "Katie's revenge" by another inmate after they found out he was serving time for molesting and murdering a 10 year old girl named Katie

Katie Collman, 10 years old

Stockelman is serving life in prison for molesting and killing Katie Collman. The Crothersville girl's body was found in a creek in January 2005.

I'd recommend watching the movie "The Hunt", it's on Netflix. It's about that very thing. It scared the crap out of me for that reason.

I would carry around the paperwork showing I was proven innocent. Or move SUPER far away if possible.

I know someone who carries his paperwork around. It says one thing, but he was convicted of another. Wierd.

Another point is. There are places where the so called "justice" (public/institutional) does not work accordingly, where rapists are 1/2

Free to keep raping children. Can you imagine that image into a parent's victim head ? The sense of "injustice" ? How emotional it gets ?

You say that until something happens in your friend-family circle (hope not though) but things change when emotions kick in

Dunno why you are getting downvoted. What you said is true. Never know how you will react until you are in the situation.

Downvoted, bc theoretical peacemakers here are judging from the comfort of their houses...til real life gets them. Smh

This is exactly why we have neutral judges and as soon as the judge shows that he is to emotional, he gets replaced. Justice ≠ revenge!

Giving in to revenge is always a moral failure, no matter how you feel. Passion or emotional compulsion aren't an excuse.

raped, can feel that justice has been made if he goes after the rapist and kills the guy, while not legit, no one can't judge him

Because it lessens all of us when something like this happens, and we slip further towards barbarism.
