Justice or Revenge? Steven Wilson's Take on Punishment for Sexual Abuse
“You cannot blame the parents of those children lost in those school shootings for wanting to harm that shooter, or for the teachers that did nothing to stop them, or for the police officers that stood by and waited and waited.”
