When i started this board i decided to take every single one responding seriously just because i am a purist and love to tackle oppsite's arguments point by point with that pure decency and sense of equility.
Well, that's what you believe. The truth can be something else; and in this case, I fear it's almost something else.
As for the original post, I don't believe in the legal system. IMO, what that woman did was right if the situations of her being treated violently were true as depicted in the movie. She suffered for quite a long time and when it was unbearable, she just paid him back. Until her husband was alive, I don't feel she ever would have had the courage to reveal to the world the way she was treated by her husband.
I don't remember the names, but there're some movies wherein I've heard dialogues that convey such meaning:
"You've got no right to decide what's right and what's wrong and to punish someone. You're not GOD."
Usually, the person who is told this is someone who has killed some person who's doing something very wrong and/or painful/harmful to someone/others and is not a Judge in the court of law, he/she's just some ordinary person.
Now, suppose the person telling this is some lawyer in the court. He'll go ahead and say that it's for law to decide what punishment must be given and so on and on. Finally, the judge too will give that person some sort of punishment. It depends on what's the personal opinion of the judge or jury, how much corrupt the judge or jury is; and what amount of facts are presented before the court. No person has any right to punish other person until and unless he/she has
witnessed most or all of what that person has gone through. In a court hearing, decisions are based on
truth heard by the judge/jury and there're great chances that this
truth has been adjusted.
Well, that's what I believe and I ain't sure whether I'm a purist!!!!!!!!!
LAWYER (to the criminal): But if everyone starts thinking like you and takes law in his own hand, even though for good, (now the lawyer turns to the people sitting in the court) this world will turn into a war......
CRIMINAL (immediately interrupts and retorts): And we must win this war.
