Somebody once said "The harder I work, the luckier I get". I believe the converse is true as well.
Even though this is not "proof" it still made me think that something out there balances out everything in life.
When I was in school, there was the school bully. This kid was the meanest child I've ever seen. He never broke the law per se, but beat up on me and other kids as well. He and his gang of toughs pretty much terrorized everybody. I remember at prom he followed some guy to his car, grabbed the dude's tuxedo jacket and burned it with a cigarette.
Anyways, he tried to join the Marine Corp. He didn't get in though, because at his physical he was found to have Lupus. I guess terrorizing everybody for years had to be punished.
Oh did I mention that I went to visit my mother and took her to the grocery store. On the way, we went to visit her grandmother, so I dressed up in my dress uniform. Imagine his surprise when he saw me and he was the one bagging my groceries.
Another example is our football quarterback. He was the typical jock. Flitted through school, never took anything seriously academically. Got a college scholarship, although I don't see how frankly, and flunked out because he was finally forced to try in school.

He has already punished himself.

The ego of man filters out the undesirable, doing an injustice to a person is the projection of the inner filter into the outer physical symbol of deed. The deed is aimed at a percieved symbol of undesirable in the person violated. The filter is intended to protect the ego from its attacker, however the violators aim is off by a long way and they block in one direction while the attack is aimed in another direction because their attacker is the undesirable and that is an idea that exists within.

Very difficult. It hits a spot in my heart.

Maybe something bad on the karmic wheel is balancing something from your journeys. Bad and good are to subjective when one can only see a glimpse of the whole.In time this injustice may be a blessing, altering the road you travel. Sometimes you have to hurt someone you love including yourself to bring about change.Punishment is a word I dislike. It wastes a lot of positive energy thinking about it. I find all good and bad experiences help me to grow.

I am going through something now in my life that is shattering but it will bring good to all who love me. It seems bad, I feel betrayed, it hurts beyond imagination but I know it is meant to be.Injustice I know. 12 months of it non stop. I have to find the lesson. Life is a hard task master.

Being an Atheist, the only way he could be punished, is something controlled by you. Of course he will experience unfortunate happenings to him, these wont all be linked to what he did to you. The only way he could avoid something bad happening to him, is if he were to die, and I'm sure death is a punishment in itself, so... You sleep peacefully at night, that that evil, nasty man will be "dealt with" in some way or other.

Karma is real. And according to what religious beliefs you prefer, it can be either in this life or the next.
I'm wiccan, and my belief is that karma effects us in this lifetime, otherwise what would the real consequence be? That makes the most sense to me, since we are not aware of future reincarnations, and most of us not past ones.
But many major religions believe that karma catches up in the next life.....either way, it's an incentive to try to be the best person we can.

There is no such thing as fairness in real world. Many big time criminals were left not arrested/punish. But, they will leave in guilt for their entire life if they have conscience. If you consider that as an punishment, then your question is yes.

oh yeah, I've seen it happen many times, it's part of the universe what goes around comes around. I had a nasty boss when I was sick with cancer and missing time be really nasty to me, wrote me up for missing time and poor attendance tho I had great 100% attendance for years prior to treatments. I despised him but treated him kindly I figured he had his own problems that caused him to be the way he was, I even went to his father's funeral and hugged him saying I was sorry. I forgave him but I believed what goes around comes around. He sure got his, he's in jail right now and it was written up all over the papers what he did too, he got his twofold. Everyone that treated me unkindly got theirs at some point in the last bunch of years so yes what goes around comes back around and its either in this life or it will get them after this life.

A waste of energy. Delighting in the punishment of someone for their wrong doing is considered unskillful in Buddhism and vengence or revenge in most other religions.

Let it go.

If you can forgive the person in your heart, then the deed is his to bear, on the other hand, if he knows that you forgive him and then you show him kindness, his punishment is his own shame. Seeing his fault, the bible tells us that asking you and God both to forgive him, that God's grace and your love will wipe the slate clean.
