Not really. You ever wonder why more people don't take out the perp as soon as they commit a crime, or why people do not what to get involved?
Its because the scumbag has more rights than those the law was written to protect. No one seems to care about the victims unless it was someone in the JUST-US system after the deed is done, as they are more worried about the perps rights. The only right the perp has is to pay up right then & there, until that happens it just empowers them(perps) to do more as they know the punishment is total B/S for the crime. We don't need more jails & prisons we need street justice on the spot,...
Unless I am reading it wrong you just recounted the problem with how the law and punishment are being applied. In which case you should have said exactly, instead of not really.
