Well, then, Prince, I suppose this means I should be considered immensely fortunate that I live in a far more just society than the vigilantism you have depicted here. (Though you have confused the term retribution with revenge.)
Enjoy dreaming of your acid-in-the-face fairness. Personally, it's too ghastly for me to think about at length. I'd rather think about the positive steps some societies have come this far up to the 21st century.
