When I see family members of victims of rape and violent crime on the news crying out for justice, I keep thinking: Poor people, what kind of justice are they looking for? If a criminal is arrested, he stays in prison for a while, receiving visits and letters from women (or men) who have a fetish for violent creatures. Thus, the prison becomes a place conducive to the meeting of kindred spirits, so that it is not uncommon for prisoners after a few years, some of whom served a semi-open regime, to leave the prison for their intended purpose. A more severe punishment is needed, since we cannot accept the shadow of justice that the state offers us and which, apparently, is sufficient for the prosecutor Paulo Antonio Locatelli, as shown in the article “Forty years of the historic event of the public ministry”, ND+ edition for the past weekend, page 11.
