TIL that last month, a rich man in New Jersey killed a pedestrian and left the scene. He was put on trial. The jury found him guilty. 15 minutes later, he walked out free. (www.nytimes.com)

Vigilante justice. It doesn’t always work out. Occasionally it does. Just saying.

    Vigilante justice. Chomping at the bit to dole out a death sentence based on a 34 word post title on a website.

    I didn’t say that. You said that. What the hell is up with the death sentence talk?

    Sometimes the law makes the wrong decision and at those times, something can be done to correct that. That's all I'm saying.

    And sometimes they don’t. Perhaps we give pause and take a moment? Then maybe lady justice will do diligent service and we can collectively knuckle bump and call it a win?😃 I’m not in a hurry. Let’s see what a civil court says? Six dollars & my left teste says it will be settled ultimately after much dickering for a non disclosed amount. I reckon justice has a dollar amount set as an affirmation. And there still will be the divide. I am not exactly thrilled about this btw.
