The victim is fed up

 

We are increasingly hearing that the final product of a violent act was actually caused by a previous violent act or fraud or rhetorical violence with defamation or long-term mobbing, bullying, etc. Simply put, in such cases, it is a matter of settling scores between persons or groups without the courts and police. The former victim, now the perpetrator of the crime, is simply fed up and has taken the right to settle the injustices committed into his own hands.

In the face of such events, even with the tragic end of a life taken, we can ask ourselves whether a tragic outcome of the conflict or negative social interaction with a tragic end was really necessary.

We build our society on good interpersonal relationships, empathy for each other, mutual respect for human rights. We have private and social property secured and protected. In society, we are supposed to respect each other's physical integrity, etc. In addition, we instill in children from a young age family and social values in the sense of good relationships based on mutual respect and respect for other people's property. From an educational point of view, the entire theory of society is well-founded from early childhood. However, as usual, we get stuck when it comes to implementing the theory into the practice of everyday real life.

Namely, if a well-designed educational method does not work, we also have a series of laws that are supposed to protect our rights and the rights of others. And of course, there are also a number of bodies, institutions and societies that are supposed to help us victims in the case of criminal acts, such as causing bodily harm, vandalism, even in the case of various addictions that erupt in violent form, etc.

And yet, in everyday life, practice simply presents us with a vicious circle of violence that goes something like this: "He took my money, so I just waved it. I waved it and got my car back. He beat me, so I just punched him in the face. He didn't pay me my salary, so I broke his company or robbed it and thus paid for his work. He broke my window, so I broke his. He didn't give me back the money, so I took his car. He raped my daughter and I brutally beat him up."

There are more and more such cases, both in our society and elsewhere in the world, when we simply realize that the conflict is over or even still ongoing, through a simple interpersonal settlement. In our society, there are frequent complaints or realizations that the prescribed judicial route for resolving disputes does not work and/or is not fair. Reports to the police also do not have the desired effect of fair treatment and settlement. Institutions that deal with violence and vandalism do not work in terms of protecting the victim, but some people can afford absolutely everything and you cannot achieve justice even in the police and court.

Trust in institutions and the legal system simply dissipates or disappears into the fog of legal regulations and the legal system and actual unresolved problems in our daily lives.

Slowly, our society is sliding into the abyss of "who will take care of whom" and "you have to take justice yourself" and a so-called self-righteous or self-regulatory system is emerging, when you use your fists and weapons to ensure satisfaction or even protect your property, ensure safety, dignity, pay for work, etc. Perhaps such a victim's reaction is also a response to tacitly acknowledged, but possibly also covertly permitted, instructions for social interaction, such as: "Don't work, but find a fool to work for you. Have a better car or house by destroying your neighbor's car or house. If you don't have money, break other people's cars and steal. Become a star of society by degrading others through ridicule, control, insults, public lynchings, intrigue, slander, false reports, forgery, and so on."
