Is God’s justice close to an eye for an eye?

RE: Is God’s justice close to an eye for an eye?
Quote:This notion that a penalty should fit the crime has even been adopted by most legal system in the world.

Really?

Quote:A San Marcos man has been sentenced to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty to aggravated robbery and unlawful possession of a firearm.

In March, Joe Valdez Reyes, 38, entered a convenience store on Aquarena Springs Drive in San Marcos with a shirt wrapped around his hand — what appeared to the store clerk as a handgun. He demanded money from the clerk, and Reyes fled with about $150.

Contrast that to the billions stolen by greedy corporate fucks ( yes, Adrian and Void...your heroes ) from pension funds for which they were rewarded.

Quote:Sometimes the real crime consists of activities considered "legal," despite the damage they cause. That adage has never been more apt than when applied to the termination of pension funds by U.S. employers large, midsize and small. Over and over, loyal, deserving employees with modest incomes have watched their planned retirement savings disappear because of corporate managers and pension industry consultants.


So I dispute your premise. Maybe somewhere there is justice but not in the plutokleptocracy which the US has become.
