Hail [wcip]Angel.
Yeah, heard it many a time: I'd love to see you tell that to any one of the many, many children who have been taken through the court process only to see their molestor walk free. Care to explain justice to them? Would you like to tell them it is OK, because there is less chance of a person being punnished for something they did not do. Ever seen what molestation does to a child? Ever seen how seeing a court case makes things even worse for them? Well, both of them are nothing compared to what happens what the paedophile walks free. I once had a child protection officer tell me that it is normal for the child to suffer more as a result of the guilty party walking free than from everything else that preceeded it.
Lovely little tale to make people feel good inside, but tell it to the victims... I hope they don't hurt you too badly.

May the wind pick up your heels and your sword strike true.
