I mean someday to post an essay on the relationship -- and inevitable tension -- between 'justice' and 'mercy.'
While that is not his focus, in the 'Grave injustice' essay, David Warren makes some good points in that regard. And, specifically, he draws attention to the (modern "liberal") project to substitute 'compassion' for both justice and mercy, which project must always pervert both justice and mercy and increase injustice.

Don't get me started on the release of that scumbag, in my opinion it's the last nail in the coffin for the left in the UK. if it isn't then they deserve everything that's coming to them.
Yeah, ya' gotta wonder how people can *see* what's going on, right in front of their faces, and yet continue as though nothing at all has happened.
