        Why can’t we play by the same rules? The thing that blows my mind is, vigilante justice is the only outcome when turning the other cheek is the only option for the oppressed.

      When the soap, ballot, and jury boxes repeatedly fail to protect the populace, the 4th box becomes inevitable. I’m not saying it’s right, but this is the general arc of these things.

      Corrupt justice systems require alternative methods. Don’t want vigilante justice? Then ensure actual justice exists. Cops and politicians and rich ppl and connected ppl all corrupt justice by avoiding accountability. Trump being the POTUS twice over is all I need to know about whether the Justice system is about justice or something else, like oppression, coercion, intimidation and control.

      The meme lied, the “murder” was minutes after the rape, during an active fight where the man said he would kill the woman. In an area of Mexico that had seen a rash of women being raped and murdered.

      And Mexico still sent her to prison for murder.

      If the justice refuses to judge what would you do? Just let it happen to your kids and apologize for being in the way?
