Some people need to go to prison. Or shot.
Prison at least.
I don’t doubt that some will die before testifying.
I posted this on another thread, but, it applies even more so, here:
It’s been many(!) years since I studied the French Revolution. It came up again in my daughter’s home schooling curriculum, recently, and I was explaining to my daughter that I thought Thomas Jefferson’s “take” might have been a bit extreme. After all, a lot of aristocrats who were sympathetic to “the people”, or who did not directly cause the people’s woes, were brutally executed.
However, the further we get into 2017, and Trump’s efforts to set things straight, the more I worry about what these deeply corrupt, deeply entrenched interests will do to retain power. What then follows, if, per Jefferson, the people must take matters into their own hands, and the country is nearly evenly split? Will “justice” murder hundreds of thousands who may be “wrong”, but are not the true evildoers, and do not deserve to be murdered? It could get very ugly indeed.
