If the extremely wicked are not punished, and get away with what they do, then God will be made out to be a liar. God is a God of justice. The Bible says that whatever a man sows, he will reap. Even though people may appear to get away with atrocities in the natural, in the spirit there are forces working to bring about the harvest of the evil sown in the natural. The harvest will be worse for the individual than the evil seed sown. Some secularists call it 'karma'. But it is actually people reaping the harvest of their ungodly actions. No one gets away with anything.

I think that it is only by their polarities or opposites that concepts can be identified. If there were not both justice and injustice, then the idea of either would be nonexistent. Identically, if there were no evil, then its opposite, good, would not be recognizable. You are therefore, in my opinion, correct in your hypothesis; the punishment of offenders who have committed injustices demonstrates justice.

Justice is not for the wicked alone. Justice is not a good or evil word, it is a word meaning "getting what is fair." The righteous are judged by the righteousness of Christ, and are rewarded for it.

Yes.
Don't confuse justic with revenge. It is acknowledgement of the act (conviction) and preventing that individual from being able to do it again (jail away from normal society). Anything past that is revenge.
Look at the act instead of who did it. To kill someone for killing someone just keeps the cycle going and going and going. "Justice" is stopping it instead.

We are all born pure, we all have good inside us. The people that are evil are just confused. I think that those people have something wrong in their brains because it is unnatual for any of us to be anything other than loving.

No, justice couldn't exist without punishment. God laid out for us the way to salvation and the consequences of ignoring it and of sinning. If we choose to reject Jesus, then we will suffer the consequences of our choice and of our sins.
