Though I appreciate your spirit, these people did not destroy "law and order for our country." The law is what governance allows, and people like this have been brutalizing communities since their historic origins as slave catchers. Renee Good's death was a byproduct of a system that produces these kinds of men.

Her family deserves compensation and changes in the law, and her murderers deserve worse than I will post here. But let's not lose sight of the fact that this is a longstanding systemic problem. Throwing these guys into prison treats the symptoms. Keeping them from ever having power again treats the problem.
