The Curse Of The Law

[Hyde Parke]

laws dont define people. People define others thru what they perceive, how they perceive stems from a multitude of things like experience, what they've learned from others, and as you mentioned upbringing. laws were established to maintain order, those who break them, suffer consequences. i see it as cause & effect. what a person did, and why they did it has its relevance in consideration of punishment, and that should be the extent of it. Spectators who bear witness have no place to judge, when they do, they end up in the confinement of their minds.

I don't think the issue is so much where spectators can't judge especially if they see the wrong that has been done. It is when spectators think that in their judgment they have the right to degrade someone's humanity in the process; that they have the right to "rub it in".
