'Hang 'em all, and let God sort 'em out later'

[FrankGSterleJr]

Rather than spout the apparently only ‘acceptable’ reply to the emotionally and politically charged topic of the Boston Marathon terrorist bombing, (if I may sarcastically translate) “We’ll give ’em a fair trial—then we’ll hang ’em,” brand-new Canadian federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau blew me away with a totally-unexpected, very rare if ever thoughtful reply. Asked what he thought about the piping-hot topic while he was being interviewed on TV, young Trudeau had the admirable courage to suggest that society must look beyond violent persons’ atrocious acts and more at the violent offenders’ motivation(s) for committing the acts, however abhorrent, and therefore possibly learn how to prevent future offences of the kind.
Apparently finding it all-too-obvious to state the ad nauseam trial-and-punishment-if-convicted scripted verse, Trudeau offered the amazing concept that, if we want to prevent such horrific violent crime rather than just react to it—as does our ‘good Evangelical Christian’ Prime Minister Stephen Harper (with an NDP MP apparently safely agreeing with him)—society desperately needs to meaningfully, progressively consider, along with the appropriate academic research, all potential causes of such terrible crimes.
Nonetheless, contemporary society’s general mentality is to mostly react according to the criminal acts themselves and to basically disregard possibly noteworthy motives for those acts—indeed, knowledge that could perhaps prevent future monstrous conduct.

Let's hope things don't go the way it went when one of those US presidents were shot in a parade. People still argue whether that guy was guilty, and no justice was served anyone.
