Some say that in an ideal world, the law is not needed. However, our society is far from perfect and there are plenty of people who deserve a hot steamy plate of justice. After all, what goes around comes around, and there’s a whole online community to prove it.

Justice Served is a subreddit where more than 1.8M members share stories showing that fairness still prevails. Whether we’re talking about bike thieves, abusive police officers or offensive taxi passengers, these are the evildoers that were put in their rightful place.

Bored Panda has collected some of the best posts from this online group. Continue scrolling, upvote the pics where you think karma did its job and let us know if you have any similar stories in the comment section below.

caio_joojingo Report

Since 2013, the subreddit has been steadily growing and bringing our attention to people who got what they deserved. From seriously gruesome crimes to petty thefts, the community is dedicated to sharing the best examples of how law and order gets gradually restored.

According to the moderators, “Posts must include a clear display of justice. ‘Justice’ includes charges—not just convictions; justice outside the courtroom, and justice that may not be inherently physical altercations.” This does not apply to protesting, call-outs, and viral or staged clips. The mods do not want to see memes, image macros or screenshots of articles, they wish to hear the whole story.

Jon is. great guy and he fought hard for this. Its a shame it takes people years of lobbying to get anywhere and unfortunately many of Jon's first responder friends died before this was passed.

The phrase “The king is dead, long live the king!” is written at the top of the page. Originally, it was used as a way to announce that a monarch has just passed away and to introduce the new king who immediately takes over. In modern times, the saying often serves as a headline for articles or ads on themes of continuation or replacement. 

ADVERTISEMENT

One could think that the phrase is about immortality—an idea might die, but the institution will live on. It will be replaced with something else only to keep the function of the previous thing or person alive but will not bring any real improvements to the table. Over the years, the justice system has seen many changes and still, it remains flawed and requires our immediate attention.

This Is Griffen, He Is A Very Good Boy. Two Weeks Ago He Tracked And Caught The Scum Bag That Attacked And Attempted To Abduct A Young Woman. Despite Getting A Kick To The Head, P.d. Griffen Did His Job

philed1 Report

According to the Sentencing Project, the U.S. is the world’s leader in incarceration and the criminal justice system today is like a bicycle stuck in one gear—the prison gear. Over the last 40 years, the population in prisons and jails has increased by 500%, with more than 2M people serving a sentence today. 

One explanation for this is the change in the sentencing law and policy, and not in the crime rate itself. This has resulted “in prison overcrowding and fiscal burdens on states to accommodate a rapidly expanding penal system, despite increasing evidence that large-scale incarceration is not an effective means of achieving public safety.”

While sentencing people to prison has had some impact on crime, it’s not as successful as one might think. First, imprisonment is not as effective when it comes to youth and drug crimes: “When people get locked up for these offenses, they are easily replaced on the streets by others seeking an income or struggling with addiction.”

Next, people tend to “age out” of wrongdoing. There’s research that shows that crime starts to peak during the teenage years and begins to decline when people are in their mid-20s. Because of this reason, lengthy prison sentences are a counterproductive and costly approach, with the exception of targeting extremely dangerous criminals.

Cops kill dozens of dogs every day. Seriously, dozens. The estimates per year range from 10,000 on the low end to over 100,000 on the high end. It's disgusting and is just another bit of evidence for how many of them are just insecure bullies with guns and no accountability.

I remember this one. There was another one recently where the K9 officer was punching his dog and tried to pass it for "training". Right. I raised German Shepherds a long time ago. Punching was never part of the training. Shooting them even less, of course.

Someone had broken into my house, and the officer asked me to show him, I had 2 very upset dogs and I asked him to give me a minute to put them up. He didn't, and my very protective female got between us. He said if she made any move towards him, he would shoot her! I put them away and gave the officer a piece of my mind. I also reported him.

Okay, I need more info on this. Shoot a dog for barking? I'm not saying it didn't or couldn't happen, but without more info, I will neither believe nor disbelieve this. Usually something like this is a meme written by someone who did not do their research. (Remember that a dog can kill you or do very serious harm.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkDN66XBm2I Quote: When KNBC film crews arrived on the scene later on Wednesday, they found a medium-sized pit bull — named "Precious" — confined to a pen, and calmly playing with several children. The dog's owner admitted that it had been barking when the officer arrived. Animal Services did not take the dog into custody because there was no evidence it or the owner had done anything wrong.

How does somebody accidentally shoot himself? The cop needs to get in some target practice at a range. The right answer is, the cop should be fired for trying to shoot an annoying dog.

Most Americans agree that the country’s criminal justice system is an ineffective, purely punitive approach to crime, as stated in the research by the Open Society Institute. They conducted a nationwide telephone survey of 1,056 adults where they found out that Americans want to prevent crime rather than deal with the aftermath. 

ADVERTISEMENT

The majority of the recipients favor dealing with the roots of crime. For example, today people see drug abuse as a medical problem and not a serious felony, as it was seen earlier. They think that it should be handled by counseling and treatment, not by courts and the prison system.

“Americans believe that today’s prisons are no more than “warehouses,” providing little or no rehabilitation or reentry programs, that instead simply store criminals for a period of time and then dump them back on the street, no different than when they were first incarcerated,” Open Society explained.

Needless to say, most people want fairness and this subreddit is a great place to see that justice does not fail to prevail. Still, if we wish for some positive shift in our society, harsh prison sentences should not be the primary tool for fighting crime. Using prevention, treatment and long-term public safety solutions should lead to change in the crime rates in the future.

It's true that Mexico did offer slaves sanctuary but the Mexican revolutionaries did not fight bounty hunters searching for slaves as the Mexican revolution took place from 1910- 1920, about 50 years after slavery was banned in the US following the Civil War. What Pancho Villa's northern revolutionaries did do was conduct border raids against racist Texas rangers who attacked Mexican nationals.
