BR5: Justice

     Today I read "Justice", a book in the Oxford University Press series. It was written by Tim Vicary.


     Terrorists blow up the Queen's coach outside Parliament. The Queen escapes, but five peop;e are killed, and forty others badly hurt - ordinary, innocent people, like Alan Cole, the Queen's coachman, who loses his leg in the bombing. And for Alen and his daughter Jane there is more terror to come, in the saerch for the truth behind the bombing. Will the terrorists be caught and brought to justice? But whay kind of justice? What can give Alen Cole his leg back, or give life back to people who have been blown to pieces by a bomb.


     Evil perish, this is certainly justice. But what is evil? There is also a cause for those who act terror. For the terrorists, it may be justice to bring terrorism. Certainly casualties were issued by terrorism, it is certainly a bad thing. However, it may be evil that Jane will kill terrorists. The description of some of the last "there is some justice" It seems to me that Jane is feeling the backlash of killing terrorists. But, since the gun is struck in front of us, in this case legitimate defense works. But this is also difficult. After all, is justice ambiguous and convenient one? However, it is said that this book, the police arrested false as facts. But is not the objective evidence insufficient? Since the criminal died, only Jane and his father know the culprit. If Jane was accused of murder, how far can the theory that it was a terrorist leads to you? Well, if it's a story.


     If you are interested, please read it. I recommend it.
