Perhaps people wouldn't confuse justice with revenge if the "system" actually worked towards justice.

Mere humans, inasmuch as we like to think so, do not have a concrete way to deal with the durges of life. There will always be murders, rapists, abusers... oh you name it. But we do the best we can under the circumstances.

No matter how well society feels that justice is served now...... it really isn't until that person stands in front of the Judge of judges........then, and only then, will true justice be served.
