Who does JUSTICE serve?

Answer 1

Justice? Or the Justice SYSTEM?

Let's look at the Justice System FIRST. An example: you, as a police officer are sworn to uphold the LAW. You see a man outside a school selling Marijuana to kids. You arrest that man and cart him off to jail. That's JUSTICE, under the law. Next, you see a man, smoking a joint, the man is emaciated and looks like a skeleton. You arrest him and ask him why he's smoking pot. He answers you by saying that he has Cancer and hasn't been able to keep anything down for WEEKS. He tells you he's smoking it so that he can gain an appetite so he can continue to LIVE. Again, you arrest him and cart him off to jail. Again, that's JUSTICE under the LAW. You are fulfilling your sworn duty by enforcing the LAW.

Now for Justice, Moral Justice: In the First case, your arrest of a man selling pot to kids WAS morally JUST and you performed an applaudible act. The man with cancer, on the other hand, was NOT in the interests of Justice. He was doing what he HAD to do in order to stay alive. So, while you WERE serrving JUSTICE under the LAW, you were NOT serving JUSTICE under ALL sense of Moral values.You were depriving the person of the right to simply LIVE.

Justice under the LAW, is BLIND. It knows no moral nor immoral values, it is only a blanket RULE that was passed by those in power. Therefore it ONLY serves the LW and not the people that it was intended to serve.

Moral Justice on the other hand serves us ALL. It serves us all by making sure that EVERYONE'S basic needs are being met.

In the FIRST case, you not only served the Justice under the LAW but you also served Moral justice because yo removed someone who was harming others. In the Second case, you were serving Justice under the LAW, but NOT serving MORAL Justice.

Had you let the second person off and gave him back his joint, you would have been a BAD cop, BUT; you would have been a GOOD person.

Does this make any sense to you? Justice under the law ONLY serves the rule of Law. but ABSOLUTE Justice (Moral Justice) serves everyone.
