There is a phrase I've heard before that describes when, for example, an armed robber gets killed during a pursuit in which he was endangering more people, instead of getting jail time, etc. It probably has the same meaning as the word "karma," but it has the word "justice" in it. It's something like "you play with fire, you're gonna get burned." I just can't find it anywhere! Thanks. :)

You reap what you sow OR Evil begets evil OR If all our misfortunes were laid in one common heap, where everyone must take an equal portion, most people would be content to take their own and depart.
