lakritze---Yes,& Dahmer should have been made to drink from the toilet before he was killed.A few years ago,I was watching a news bulletin,on TV.A man, who had been convicted of raping or
molesting,a young boy,was being transferred to another jail.As the Marshalls,walked him thru the airport,a man,stepped out from
a payphone on the wall.The man had work clothes&a cap on.He
mortally shot the prisoner.It was the boys father.It may have been wrong,but I would have done it.I thought"Right On"!Paybacks a bitch! Irish

Not advocating prison rape,just making a comment about the eye for an eye systemof justice.Dahmer was beyond human,probably would have like the taste of used toilette water.He ate people didn't he? I remember the news about the boy's father who shot the prisoner while being transfered.Now he is in jail for murder.This was a circumvention of justice.What a legacy for his already traumatized son.Too bad people sometimes confuse justice with revenge.

Perhaps people wouldn't confuse justice with revenge if the "system" actually worked towards justice.
Mere humans, inasmuch as we like to think so, do not have a concrete way to deal with the durges of life. There will always be murders, rapists, abusers... oh you name it. But we do the best we can under the circumstances.
No matter how well society feels that justice is served now...... it really isn't until that person stands in front of the Judge of judges........then, and only then, will true justice be served.

Yes, if my child was hurt to that degree I would seek revenge. And if it cost me my freedom so be it. There are too many repeat offenders who will continue to violate children. That man saved his son from having to look over his shoulder the rest of his life wondering if that monster was there. And he possibly saved a dozen other children from the same hurt.
Just my personal opinion...from personal experience.

This will make everyone feel better.On Sept.2,the Drs.,have
detirmined that Hinkley(sp?)is all better,and he will be released
from confinement.If you remember,he was the one that tried to
assinate(shoot)President Reagan!
If you believe in the Justice System,let me give you one example!
I will cut out alot of detail,to save space.In the early 70s,I was
arrested& charged with aggravated assault(a felony)I eventually
ended up in Rockingham County Superior Court.I was sentenced
to 3yrs1day in the Concord State Prison in NH.The day(uneven
sentence)means:No Parole.I ended up with probation,because,
my lawyer,knew someone that got $500 from me.I don't know ,
who got the $500!I don't care!All that I know is that I didn't do the time!I have since bought,a complete,record annulment,for
approx. $300. Irish
Moral:It's not what you have done.It's who you know&how much money that you have!
PPS.By the way,It was self-defense,but the law didn't think that it was funny,when I told them:"Yes.I was aggravated!"No sense of
humor.

..............and now because he was murdered prior to being able to complete all of his appeals and such, the crimes he committed have been dismissed...........
However, the victims are still able to pursue suits against the Cath. church...... not sure if it is justice,..................
