The disappointment of Justice
I remember when I was a kid my parents would sometimes punish me for something I did not commit. Even though they knew that I knew that I did not do it, that did not help me at all. I still got punished for something I knew I did not commit.
The reason that justice is a disappointment is because it never fair. Recently the ICC was on the news when it sentenced a rebel From Uganda, to life in prison… On his defense the Uganda rebel said, “I was kidnapped at a young age” and they “brain washed me.” The Judges didn’t pay no mind on what he had to say: why? No sure…
I sometimes think, it is because they used Emotion to arrive to the conclusion. Like this Scenario, Now image you were a nine-years-old kid, Living in third world country. Walking to school every single morning with no worry.. but that one day you arrive in your classroom, a group of rebels attacks your school and they starts killing and recruiting then they caught you and kidnap's you. They starts making you do the unspeakable, eat something you never ate before, kill someone and you never done that before and rape someone you never committed any type of crimes before but because you were young and naïve you just did it to stay alive. They start trusting you and you start trusting them (you been brain washed). They make you their commander. Then, after 30 years you realize that everything you ever did was immoral, so you turn yourself in hoping to be forgiven… do you expect to receive the forgiveness or get life in prison?
Yes, I am trying to put you in some else shoes.
You are not like the { 12 angry men } a movie about twelve-person jury who becomes increasingly tense as arguments continue into the night as one holdout juror must convince the other eleven he is right… I would recommend for you to watch it.
A good judge is driven by facts and statistics not with emotion. Like King Solomon “ who declared his judgment: the baby would be cut in two, each woman to receive half. One mother did not contest the ruling, declaring that if she could not have the baby then neither of them could, but the other begged Solomon, “Give the baby to her, just don’t kill him!”
“The king declared the second woman the true mother, as a mother would even give up her baby if that was necessary to save its life.”
Real justice does not exist.
