Is karma the only Justice left

Remember a while back a 17 year old intentionally ran over a Mom and her child while they were out for a walk ?
Thanks to the L.A. soft on crime policies, he only served a few months of "diversionary camp' [ what ever that means ] and was then released.

Well, looks like karma caught up with him and delivered the justice that the D.A. and Judge wouldn't.

www.foxnews.com...

A Los Angeles 17-year-old who ran over a mother walking her baby in a stroller in 2021 and received just a few months of diversionary camp as punishment was gunned down in Palmdale, California, this week.
Kristopher Baca, whom Fox News Digital has previously not identified due to his youth, pleaded guilty to the hit-and-run last year.

Deputies found him dead with gunshot wounds in a Palmdale driveway on the 83600 block of 11th Street East on Wednesday evening, according to the sheriff's office.

Sources close to the investigation said he had been at a fast food restaurant earlier trying to "get with a girl."

As he walked home alone, a car pulled up next to him and an argument broke out. Someone in the vehicle opened fire, then sped off.

I'm not saying the kid deserved to die, but he tried to kill a Mom and her child and was only held a few months. It's obvious he was a threat to the public, but they let him back out. These D.A.s and Judges keep letting these people back out on the street, when they should be serving years. There's no real deterrent to them going right back out and doing it again, knowing the punishment is next to nothing.

Illinois came up with their new 'No Bail" law and then tried to ban guns. I would swear it's on purpose because no one is dumb enough to think that combination is going to lead to less crime. New York is the same and then they wonder why they have a spike in crime. When there is no punishment and the bad guys know they'll get off easy, it's only going to get worse.

I often wonder about people that are super nice or at least generally kind to others , but terrible to themselves. Yknow, like polluting the temple kind of thing. A lot of comedians come to mind, who are actually super nice, like Norm MacDonald for instance. What does that mean in the grand scheme of things?

I am not sure how we can survive the loss of such a valuable citizen.

Yes! We all reap what we sow.....one way or another.

We never escape ultimate judgement IMO.

All will answer for what they do, whether here in this world, or the next.

Karma is a Hindu belief, both being misinfo.

Karma is demon driven.

So when does Karma happen with Pharma CEOs?

So who shot the worthless punk, and what's their sentence going to be?

With all due respect to those who adhere to the concept of Karma... in my understanding Karma is not "justice."

I am no expert and would hope someone can provide a better, more clinically accurate response to that question.

In the end though I would stand as resistant to the idea that what happened to this young man had anything to do with his previous life.

I'll admit I'm more inclined to believe that "justice" is never truly administered upon the living... we just like to think it happens.

I'd say this is poetic justice.
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
Good riddance.

So, is it administered on the dead?

Which would be the living in that case?

My head hurts...

if you aren't i am. the POS tried to kill before and was on probation for it. then while on probation he intentionally tried to kill again.

if you intentionally try to kill (as in committing the act ) or actually kill without a damn good reason that is justifiable, at least the best and functional years of your life should be forfeit. preferably loccked in cold dark dank hole, or in chains pounding rocks. the best solution is is death.

letting violent killers or would be killers no matter the age roam the street cause you are a wokeatardian is stupid and will be and is one of main reasons the world is so f---ed up now.

Good effin riddance to worthless criminal garbage, hope he suffered all the way to hell.

you are partly correct people do the use idea of it wrong. krama is still about consequences of actions and if they are good or bad and why they were done. so even if one does a good deed for a bad reason krama can bite you on the ass and you maybe be reborn as a sh@@ eating slug in the next life.

I need an aspirin too.

Karma is not a tool, or 'effect' of something people consider "bad or good."

'Justice' is a tool, and it requires an actor to carry out.

Karma just happens, Justice is something that's done.

... nope, head still hurts.

In a righteous world there's no need for justice.

it is representative of the truth.

Life is both outward and inward . As above so below .

'Open the door for the little old lady you seem nice ' But you curse her with your mind as she walks by ' The universe see's both and so both affect you .

Life is a Physical battle and a mental one as well and a spiritual one but for the most part Spirituality is beyond us .
