The Human Rights of Child Killers.

[leo9]

Harsh punishment is not revenge, it is justice.

I'd like to be clearer about the distinction as you see it.

If someone breaks my arm, and I break theirs, I call that revenge, and I guess you do too.

If someone breaks my arm, and I take them to court and the judge orders that a policeman should beak their arm, is that what you call justice? Or just state regulated revenge?
