Justice

Justice

Justice is the wedge that seeks to determine if guilt is genuine and implaccable, or if, indeed, there is a way to help the person.

Not many eyes have seen into the eyes of genuine evil, and when it is apparent, the TV documentaries seek to convince us that we should see it that way. And the man falsely accused of causing the death of his kids when trying to save their life in a fire, we want the "system" to see, that in the balance, he is not as guilty because his eyes tell the story.

Justice gives us our sleep at night knowing the system puts those with the evil eyes behind bars and allow the well intentioned masses freedom to work in society. The function of the law is to bring before judgement those that it has sufficient evidence to remove any reasonable doubt that the accused has caused damage to others, or are constantly acting in a way harmful to others.

Mere stupidity, coincidence or misfortune, like like the man probably chasing fire engines who managed to be videoed in 7 of the 14 recent arsons in Central Auckland. The man brought in for questioning, was not charged. He was not a suspect. There is a very limited police presence in the small hours, when more successful criminals are likely active.
