This comment is for Jakon Joi if he happens to read comments. (It's also for anyone who recognizes that our current method of providing "justice" is neither effective in deterring crime, nor does it meet the needs of the victims). I'm so sorry for your loss. Even the people who commit a murder often don't know why they did it. But as a prisoner in this documentary says, "Hurt people hurt others." He did so without deflecting responsibility, because he has come to recognize that just because you yourself are a victim does not justify hurting others. Jakon, you sound like somebody who wants to both heal, and also to use your experience to help others, perhaps by finding more effective ways to mete out justice. Glenn gave you some great advice to seek out others in similar circumstances. I also encourage you to watch this film ($3.00 to rent, $6.00 to buy; best money I've ever spent). It might give you some additional ideas, and perhaps you will be inspired by Agnes. The trailer is in the first link, and a brief article about it is in the second link. All the best.
