Possibly true. But nothing is as cathartic as personally tracking down the person that wronged you.
- TheAmazingIdiot 16y agoWhat are you going to do? Kill them? Maim them? Bring it out in blood equity? Or some sort of "bringing them to justice?" Its just stuff. You never know what the motivations they had for doing it. It could have done all sorts of good, at a cost of some personal sacrifice. Is it wrong? Society says so. But personal "justice" is just as extreme. And yes, I have had things stolen from me.

- carussell 16y agoYou never know what the motivations they had for doing it. It could have done all sorts of good, at a cost of some personal sacrifice. Or the person could be serial thief relying on the stolen goods to avoid work and with an aptitude to participate in other criminal activities. Just like he was.
- SoftwareMaven 16y agoSo you are saying it is OK to steal from me if your motives are pure? That's BS. Expecting people to obey the law is not "personal justice", it is just justice.
