A victim is a victim is a victim. We should stop setting up standards that say we will have one standard of law enforcement for one group of victims but not for another.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For any victim, particularly us Americans, it is difficult to see ourselves through the eyes of our offender. But for any victim it is the most salutary thing to do.
Our laws must protect victims.
Our laws are too lax, our justice system too weak - particularly when it comes to violent, dangerous offenders.
We live in a society of victimization, where people are much more comfortable being victimized than actually standing up for themselves.
There are people who are victims in life, and I don't think they should be encouraged.
The purpose of our justice system is to reflect the values of our society and to punish those who violate our standards.
I don't want any injustice brought against the bullies. Bullies just don't know any better. Anyone who is crying about police brutality or victimization as an adult needs to stop it and realize the privileges we have in this country.
Every society gets the kind of criminal it deserves. What is equally true is that every community gets the kind of law enforcement it insists on.
Everybody is not a victim.
People are, well, only human. We know that. The rule of law is borne out in identifying, condemning, and punishing those who violate the standards on which we all agree. This is exactly what we do in America.
