[Hoffer Rand]

If this society really cared about human life, it would guarantee that murderers are put to death swiftly. With or without pain - doesn’t matter. Quick.

When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people’s hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong.
                                 Ecclesiates 8:11

[Responsibility2nd]

Wow, that is a great verse. I wonder if Solomon meant that slow justice causes other criminals to see that they too can get away with it, or that people may scheme to do wrong by engaging in vigilantism?

After all, if there is no law and order, no justice; then ultimately citizens will have take matters into their own hands.

Or so I’ve heard. Wonder if that’s really true? Looking at America today and what the scum get away with; I guess vigilantism - like morality and public decency - is an antique and obsolete notion.
