I find it hard for even the most compassionate people to not want some sort of revenge!

I'd probably enlist in the Guardian Angels, and take it upon myself to administer justice for whoever I felt was wronged....But is it my place to commit such acts? And where do we draw the line? Peolpe have different perceptions of punishment, a victim of robbery may feel the same level of punishment is adequate for the offender as someone who lost a family member. There are too many mitigating circumstances and not a definable criteria to determine (right now) who receives this for a majority of cases. But since it seems so many ppl have no problem with pulling the switch, maybe the jury can possess the power of whether someone lives or dies.
