Would you bother giving the victim a vote Do you know how much damage she suffered physically and emotionally? What were her out-of-pocket expenses in the aftermath. Did she require hospitalization and if so, did she have children for whom she couldn't care for awhile? Did she suffer disfigurement or a permanent, crippling injury? Was this the perp's first crime or the end of a string of them?
Benevolence comes real easy when you don't know the circumstances and aren't the one victimized.
I don't have the first idea of how many I arrested back in the day but it was quite a number and for the life of me I really couldn't muster up sympathy for any of them. That was saved for their victims. They're the ones who had it coming.
