Tribute to justice

Recently, I have read too many reports of negative and black-hearted incidents, and I have been very depressed.
The reason why evil does not suppress righteousness is so happy because in reality, personal justice is too small compared with the complicated social interest relations. If we want to maintain some of the most basic things, including the law, the weapons we have are just reporters' pens and police guns.
Hypocritical advertisements, ambitious financial promoters, profitable businessmen, unsafe food, complicated interest networks... This is the era in which we live.
However, no matter how small individual justice is, it is also the most fundamental and strongest support for a civilized society. If everyone keeps the bottom line of their inner goodness, then the day we hope will not be so ethereal. Even if we won't see it for the rest of our lives, at least we are the proud paving stones of the avenue.

    George Stone: Hey, what's that you say?

    Malone: I said that you're a lying member of a no good race.

    George Stone: [He cuffs Stone across the face. As he draws back his arm again, Stone presses a gun under his chin] Much better than you, you stinking Irish shit pig.

    Malone: Oh, I like him.

    Ness: [Ness looking a bit nervous and Malone smiling at Stone] Yeah I like him too.

  • Reporter: [interviewing Capone while a barber shaves him] And what of your reputation for violence? That those who don't buy your product are dealt with violently?

    Capone: [pulls his face away from the razor, sees that he's bleeding slightly, the barber looks horrified] S'alright. I grew up in a tough neighborhood and we used to say "You can get further with a kind word and a gun than you can with just a kind word."
