Frontier Justice
Nothing against the cops who shot and killed some of the suspects in the RCBC killings, but that sort of frontier justice doesn’t satisfy. Worse, what if the cops were wrong? What if those weren’t the guys who did it? If not, then the real assholes are still out there, laughing their heads off at getting away scot-free.
If only the cops had not been so fucking trigger-happy, they could have had an unequivocal winner once they captured the killers. Instead, by bringing everything to such an abrupt and gruesome end, they just might have wrested defeat from the jaws of victory.
I’m sure the families would have preferred knowing for sure it was these men that did it. But now, when will that truth ever come out?
