belated "justice"

I will fight in the name of the Father, in the name of the truth. I want all wrongdoers to be rehabilitated and all sinners punished.
After 15 years of wrongful imprisonment, Julie was finally rehabilitated. This is justice that was too late, and his father has been imprisoned to death.
I'm free now and I'm going through the front door.
In the crowd, Julie shouted loudly, declaring his victory and oath.
However, no police officers were punished for this, and the real mastermind of the Kilford case has not been prosecuted, and is still in prison.
Is this justice? But this should be the maximum victory. The British government will not fully admit its own fault, which, after all, involves the entanglement of political interests. The rebellion of the Northern Ireland Army is fighting for the rights of the Irish. Unwilling to have been doing a low job, being oppressed by the English to make a living.
Jolie, who had nothing to do, was still so young. As soon as he arrived in the UK, he was arrested by the government and framed as a terrorist in Northern Ireland. He was threatened and tortured to extract a confession.
I signed it, whatever you want. The desperate Julie can only do this, knowing that he is a scapegoat, but he is powerless.
My father was a devout Catholic and always disapproved of violent resistance. But to fight for rights, to be free, is impossible without bloodshed. Julie had given up hope for his own fate. It was not until the death of his father and the appearance of lawyer Shari that he thought that he should avenge himself and his father.
Risha happens to be British, ironic! It was the British who ruined their lives.
In the process of striving for his redress, Qiu Li also gradually grew up, from a frivolous, angry punk who just wanted to cause trouble to a witty and responsible man.
The real mastermind, Conker, is a small, determined man who believes in violent revolution and believes that only force can solve problems. The arson attack on the sheriff in the screening room makes Julie realize the brutality of violence and part ways with Conker.
In prisons, the riots of prisoners and the repression of the police are actually the epitome of social conflicts. This just responds to Foucault's theory of prisons, that society is a huge prison, and the state apparatus has cultivated a police system to eliminate lawbreakers who go against the interests of the privileged class. But who defines the lawlessness of these molecules? The so-called justice and fairness are only in the interests of most people. What you think is fairness, for the oppressed party, is oppression.
The insane asylum in Feiyue Lunatic Asylum is also a microcosm of society. Everyone is a lunatic, and because of oppression and regulation, they have to pretend to be "normal".
Do we have the courage to pursue justice only in the name of the Father? Isn't it too sad and too helpless?
Individuals under power are just victims. Julie "victory", how many people died like ants?
