Lizzie the trouble these days is the law favours the criminal not the victims.

I have no sympathy for him, or anyobdy else that gets their come uppance.
I couldn't agree more, but it is through the ballot box that we bring about change, pressure on our political represenatives or going into politics ourselves to change what
is certainly an imperfect system.

Going out on the streets to sort people out that you do not feel should walk the streets is not the way. I completely understand the feeling against peodos, and personally would willing hang them painfully on piano wire. But where do you stop? There are a number of types in society that I would love to do away with, but who am I to decide that? It must be our system of justice, as imperfect as it definately is!

Otherwise, we create a state in which the majority of people go back to intolerant, unjust and unfair ways to deal out punishment to those the majority do not like. We will call this state Nazi Britain. But heaven help anyone who falls outside "the box" accepted by the majority! Colour of skin, political beliefs, belonging to a union, stating their viewpoints, etc. Or shall we just change everything by a bloody revolution, as in the French Revolution of 1789 - 1795?
No, let us all work together peacefully, in line with the due process of the law to change things, like ensuring we vote at the next General Election, which if things go to the form witnessed over recent years will see up to 40% of the population will not do!
