Selective justice will neither diminish the crime nor be a lesson to the larger perpetuators. The moral of the story, the business as usual shall carry on. Justice travesty is if only disadvantaged individuals listen to the tunes of justice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they are larger clans, they are likely to get away with it, while small clans can be accused and abused without consequences. People are wondering if they could have been used as a scapegoat given this carried sentence. That said, a rapist should be hung by his testicles.

Ina-adeer I think you are referring to me here and the reason I asked that question is to hint in this part of the world, clan plays a role even in the court system and handing down sentences to the accused. As others echoed, clan is a factor and no matter how much we ignore, the criminals of the prominent clans do seem to either get away or bribe their way into freedom. So it ain't strange to ask or suggest if these government soldiers got this punishment in part because of their 'clan status' not that it diminishes the crime they allegedly committed. It says a lot about justice system and how the rules apply. I don't know if that's the case here but it wouldn't surprise me. No one is saying if they're of a powerless clan they should be let go. And lastly, shooting someone in their **** ain't exactly justice. More like a revenge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wadani Posted January 17, 2013 ^So a victim of rape doesn't have legitimate cause to seek revenge? And what is revenge anyway except justice, and what is justice except revenge? The old adage of an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth captures just how inextricably linked the two concepts r. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
