I think people have a hard time reconciling individual compassion with state-implemented justice. Our job is to love people, the state's job is to wield the sword.

And you trust the state (any state) to do that well?

Trust, no, entrust, yes. I'm a minarchist, I think a state has to exist to wield force, because there's no way force can't exist (contra anarchists and libertarians). Justice is also the function of the state assigned by God per Romans 13.
