Reply to comment by _Unfair_Suspension_ in Evidence unearthed by podcasters frees 2 Georgia men imprisoned for 25 years by efranklin13

Because no well-meaning vigilante has made them pay the price yet. We both know that the only thing that should be done are the kind of things that we can’t discuss here. These would be old, likely retired men by now. Something like the golf course scene in the movie “falling down” comes to mind…

Hey, Germany prosecutes bedridden 97-year-olds for their involvement in the Holocaust, so why can't we go after a cop that framed someone 25 years ago?

And human nature being what it is, if this cop had ANY brains, he'd be terrified that the victim or their friends/family might "pay him a visit" someday. I hope he's spent the past 25 years looking over his shoulder. But it would be equally satisfying to see his face when karma unexpectedly shows up in his golden years to repay him for what he (until now) THOUGHT he got away with...

You’re not wrong. Although if you’re gonna prosecute the secretary, then there are plenty of American troops and contractors who are complicit in war crimes.

And, I’m definitely not talking about legal recourse in my previous comment.

After being shown firsthand how broken the legal system is, I'm honestly shocked there aren't more cases of vigilante justice.

I mean, why would you seek recourse from within the very system that screwed you over in the first place?? That's like catching your spouse in bed with someone else and then asking your spouse for relationship advice!!!!

The very fact that you need to seek recourse proves that you can't trust the system...because if you could, you'd have no need for recourse to begin with!!!

Completely agree. The only way to fix it is to fight outside the system. The supreme court is corrupt and broken at the top so why even use legal means?

because unlike us, they're willing to kill.

Who's more likely to kill someone:

Me with a joint? Or a cop with a gun?
