I've heard it many times...."What goes around comes around"..."They'll get their's"...."He'll get what he deserves".....But when does it ever happen?? The worst criminals know how to get away with everything. When will my justice be served??

[purple_fins]

I don't know if this helps you but, .......
I think that "justice" is often in that the abusers are basically unhappy people, they are often living nightmares of lies, cover ups and a roller coaster of bad mood swings. (I mean, how many abusers have you seen live a happy healthy functioning life?...... they can be their worse enemy as well)

I think it's the way one interprets Justice-- that's what gets tricky in seeing it.

I wish you inner peace

I know what you mean, I was upset the other day because I feel as though I am being punished for all the bad things people have done to me, yet every single one of them got away with it.
Who knows if they ever get punished, if guilt exists within these people, does that count?

Karma is an interesting concept. Karma

I was even almost kidnapped at age 16 while I was walking down the street, a man slowly followed me in his car, yelling out sexual things, telling me to get in the car with him, he followed me for almost a mile. He even went into the gas station to my relief, but then he found me walking again when he came out, again driving slowly, drinking a beer he apparently just bought. Thankfully the police pulled up right behind him! They pulled him over and pulled me aside. They asked me if I knew the man, how old I was, and what he was saying to me, and then they asked if I wanted to press charges. I said yes. They took me to sit down in the car and write out what happened and then they looked up his history. He had a long record of very violent sexual attacks and kidnapping. They told me I was very lucky they were there, or else something really terrible could have happened to me. They thought I probably wouldn't had made it through that night..... The police took me to Walmart, that's where I was walking to and then they took me home. I got a subpeonia to go to court and I took off school to go there. I waited in the waiting room forever. Then after hours of waiting and his court was said and done someone came out to tell me that the JUDGE decided to throw out my case, since he was already getting enough time and the crime he did to me would have been run concurrently with his other crimes. So the JUDGE thought it'd be better for me to not even have to testify....No, no, no!....I would have PREFERED the man be charged for what he tried to do to me! I want the world to know he's a sex offender! He was the only one I would have been emotionally capable of testifying against in court.....

Now, one of my best friend's husband was just charged the other week of statutory r---. She believes he didn't do it and I'm not sure what to believe. All I know is that all of my attackers were never charged (& one of them could be from DNA) and this man is being charged 8 years not exactly for r---, but for sleeping with a teenage girl. He's not that much older. Yes, it's very possible that he did do it and it possible that he did in fact r--- her, and in that case I'd be glad. But they have three kids together and my friends loves him and I want to believe her that he didn't do it.

But anyway, where's my justice? What's up with this system?

[NuckingFutz]

The system is broken. It needs a lot of reform. I would not even begin to know where to start on this. Karma? Yes, I believe in karma. We may not see the karma and how it is working itself out, but most of the time, I can actually see it and it does not always happen write away. Hang in there!

Hey there Shadow--Been awhile--Karma-well-i don't really call it that anymore. Used to "...Instan Karma's gonna get you..."
It's 55 years on this planet, and i know that what goes around comes around.
I don't wish it on anyone--they hurt me-i walk away hurt and crying--not even angry--but somehow, someone gets cancer, someone has their garage door fall on them, someone dies an excruciating death (my "father"), some just live horrid, cynical
tortured lives, judging others with no joy, no feeling but meaness in their hearts and minds--on and on--I believe in God, a God who is vengeful and angry and loving and kind all at the same time---I believe He counts my tears---and I believe, in His time He takes vengence on those who've hurt me.

That is my belief system.

I laugh at the Justice system in this world,in this country- there is none- I proved it to myself.

Fair? I taught my children that life is not "fair". It is not. We here all know that.

But, in the end, wonderful Shadow--yes, it all comes around again-at least once.

I've seen it way too many times-----------Big Hugs-your day will come-theo
