#assailants — Public Fediverse posts

How would you react if a vicious #criminal is grievously #assault'ed or #killed by #vigilantes? Would you cheer for them, like most people do?

The #assailants are often trying to satisfy their #bloodlust, not their #conscience. And it's exciting the same #dark_traits within you.

A good #justice_system must consider the #perpetrator in addition to the #victim, no matter how unsavory that sounds. Ignoring this will have tragic social consequences.

#Vengeance is not #Justice.

Many witnesses to the 30 April #melee observed that the #smallgroup of #assailants – many of them #masked – did not appear to be #students. More than #30people were #injured according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (Cair). #Authorities are still #working to #identify the #perpetrators and have not made any #arrests.
