A crime, once committed, has been committed. End of story. Nothing can change the past.
Seeking to punish isn't justice, it's revenge. It doesn't restore people or society, it feeds a cycle of violence.
Justice should be restorative.
- unyttigfjelltol 2y agoSo, since you cannot restore the victim, and past is past, you'll lecture victims about the cycle of violence and tell them to "just get over it"? And call it "justice"?
- pcthrowaway 2y agoI didn't say that at all, and if you do even the most cursory reading of restorative justice you'd know it's pretty much the opposite of "telling victims to 'just get over it'".
