There is an obvious bias from the morally superior crowd that favours humane treatment for butchers, thieves and child molesters. There appears, at least at any level so anyone could notice, not much concern for the people targeted by butchers, thieves and child molesters. No one in official authority appears overly concerned for their well being.

A man can callously plan for and slaughter 1100 people and walk away bragging about his foul crime but, if he is apprehended and achieves a minor bruise at the hands of those who arrested him, the butcher is suddenly the innocent victim of unrestrained brutality and those who located him and injured him are at risk of persecution for crimes against humanity in a court of law.

Some justification for this bizarre state of affairs can be found in Judio-Christian ideology which insists we must judge not for all of us are guilty of sin or, as Jacob insists, “Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord.” I find it odd the ruling authorities should cling to this single example of Judio-Christian ethics when they totally reject as outdated and irrelevant every other admonition held up by Jews and Christians. Perhaps they are only being consistent as with their views on the “Living Constitution”. They embrace the parts that suit their agenda and insist whatever remains should be flexible and interpreted to mean whatever they wish for it at that particular moment.

At base of this insistence the lowest forms of human life should be granted unlimited license to murder, pillage and rape as the whim inspires them is the delusion none of us have any options in our moral conduct. We are all simply unwilling victims of fate and those who prey upon their fellow man are no worse that those upon whom they prey.

Or as my mother once advised me, “There, but for the grace of God, go I.”

My immediate reply was, “No, I don’t.”

She never tried that admonition on me again. I had told her my conduct was not the result of the dictates of fate. I stand responsible for my own actions.

“Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord,” quoted Jacob.

But vengeance has got nothing to do with it. A murderer is not removed as a matter of vengeance. He is removed to protect those he would seek out and cause pain if he were allowed to continue upon the path he has chosen. All too often, thugs guilty of terrible crimes have been freed in the name of mercy only to seek out new victims and commit fresh horrors against them. Who then is responsible for the renewed atrocities. Certainly the perpetrator is to blame, but the merciful authority who decided to release this subhuman to continue with his acts of depravity is an active collaborator in his crimes.

When the soldier returns to the Dragon Queen as he wipes blood from his blade, he assures her the Sage “will rape no more children, my Queen.”

Assuring a criminal pays for his crimes has got nothing to do with revenge. It’s about keeping him at distance from his next victim.

May the sun always shine on your parade!
