Justice Quotes

It’s a scary world out there. Guilty people slip through the cracks of the justice system every day. Murderers. Rapists. Predators. Monsters who walk among us, and we never even know.

But the truth is the world is not as simple as we want it to be. It can’t just be boiled down into an equation. Especially when it comes to human beings.

But looking back now, I don’t think that’s right. Our feelings may not be convenient. They may even slow our progress. But they are also the only way to truly begin to understand the world around us. And the new worlds that await us.

I am not a torturer. Though it so often is what people deserve. And it does provide answers. But they’re usually the wrong answers. My job is to find the right answers. Do you know how I do that? I do it by making people happy.
