There must always be some sort of restraint. In this case, it was pretty cut-and-dry, and there were plenty of witnesses. If this kind of justice is allowed to be exercised freely, murder of innocents could be done under the pretense of swift justice. Imagine a lone police officer searching someone's car at a traffic stop and simply shooting the person. "He was threatening me with deadly force." Was that the case? Maybe the suspect sneezed and that pissed off the officer. Who's to say otherwise with no witnesses?Originally posted by: Tiamat
thats how it should work.

Anyone remember that thread from a couple days ago where they found the head of a body but since the processing was messed up they couldn't use it as evidence? I'm not saying we need to get this tough, but it seems like we're getting entangled in so many regulations that we're becoming somewhat ineffective in dealing with crime...

Due process exists for a reason. It's when it gets too complicated when it becomes a problem. Justice should be swift, but it must remain just.

I just don't get why so many macho-macho men say that we need the "swift justice" of Communist China here. Has our "slow justice" actually had an affect on anyone's lives here? When we negotiate here, we do it not to save the life of the ass who's responsible, we do it often to save the lives of the hostages. Look at the Russian school siege - the police busted in with a tear gas and gun fire that set off explosions and added to a calamity that resulted in dozens of deaths. INNOCENT DEATHS.

Swift justice and OJ would be dead right now. But I suppose you are the type to say he's innocent. :roll:

You're trying to say we shouldn't have trials anymore? I'm sure you're willing to trade OJ's death for my ability to kill you any time I think you've done something wrong.
