I’ll never defend those who violate the rights of others. But I do believe in just laws and their enforcement. I’m the days of the wild frontier a father would just shoot the guy, and that’s probably ok. But we have a process now, and I believe we should follow that process, until society agrees to change or abolish it.

Those changes or abolition are matters of policy, and outside the scope of the discussion imo. But I certainly support punishment for those who harm the innocent.
