You wouldn't keep rewarding people over and over for the same act. Maybe you should, but it wouldn't be "just", would it...

The cops wouldn't get involved because there was no evidence? Then there probably wasn't. Because cops love to roll with authority and if they didn't, its probably because it was just some halfass story from a couple punk kids that they were smart enough to see through as opposed to believing.

A little problem of "innocent until proven guilty"? Apparently that can be ignored if it gets in the way of justice. But then justice is simply mob rule. Hardly worth getting excited over or even upholding. If you want to say that might makes right you may as well just agree to allowing all the pedophiles and perverts loose. I fail to see the distinction.

Thoughts?

Oh, and as for verbal violence. There's an obvious distinction because, simply to start with, it can be ignored as opposed to physical violence. Most distinctly though, my goal is not to create violence, but rather questioning that might lead to your own mental development. Is that violent?

my thoughts on all this, is you're wise... and basicly say the same things i'm thinking. atleast some people in this thread actually "think" about it instead of saying "oh a sex offender he deserves to have the shit beat out him day in day out"...

and yes cops seem to love to throw criminals such as, assualtists, rapsists, robbers and all that in jail at the first sign of anything wrong... so i still stick with the fact that if this story is all true, then he would have been in custody immedieatly, therefore he wouldn't have been jumped. so there's something about this story not being told... there's no way any cop would've heard "a convicted molester was just trying to get my friends 7 yr. old sister" and not done something about it..
