Re: Mennonite Girl ,3, swept over waterfalls,2 years ago,parents now charged

Re: Justice

What is justice? We often hear "justice needs to be served" or perhaps "she deserves justice." What exactly do we mean, and exactly how does that look? Does it look different if the victim of the injustice is alive vs deceased? It is my studied opinion that we have no idea what ...
