As one of those diaspora, jyspora(however you spell it) Haitian Americans
born here in the U.S, if I'm going to impose any values I guess I'll impose
the ones I know.
The point of a criminal justice system is not only to punish the criminal
but also to provide security and assurance to society that the right person
has been punished. To be honest, the effect of such summary executions on
the criminal bothers me less than its effects on society. Without going into
the death penalty issue, such a punishment would lessen society. What would
separate the government from the lot that sets up barricades for every radio
rumor. When the government uses such a final remedy it should do so with
restraint.
