When you have a sense of Justice that many other people do not agree with and you suddenly are given an unlimited amount of funding, what are the possibilities? Would you make changes? Would this change you? Jackson Parson had always believed that the systems, both Judicial and Political, have not worked as intended, except for those who have learned to take advantage of this system, for quite some time. He spent a lifetime going to work every day knowing that the majority of modern politicians were crooked and only worked for large Corporations, whoever has the most money, those who could advance their own personal interests and power plays, and that they have always used the modern media to convince you to look the other way. He also knew that large Corporations do the same in return. Jackson was also very aware of all the criminals, drug dealers, thieves, con artists, and other generally worthless people who also use both systems to their advantage. If you became a person who was so fed up with the manner in which these systems operated and one day decided that it was time to do something extreme to bring these people to some type of justice or punishment, would you be revered, reviled, loved, hated, criminal, vigilante, or just another news story? Would these extreme acts change you? Should the White Collar Criminal who only steals millions of dollars from pension funds and unsuspecting investors be punished less harshly than those who murder, rape, steal, torture, or brutalize others? Would White Collar Criminals and corrupt Politicians be less likely to engage in their type of criminal acts if they knew that they would end up in prison with hardcore criminals? What if these types, even pedophiles, rapists, and criminals knew that one day the justice they would face would have nothing to do with a court room or a prison cell? Would all people be less likely to commit crimes if they were unsure that the next time they walked out of any door it would be that last step that they would ever take? What if justice and punishment was determined by someone with a sense of justice that most people may not agree with? What if that person had unlimited funding and was finally fed up with the way the modern world and both the Judicial and Political systems operated? Would change come? Would it be the next step in an already violent world? Is there such a thing as absolute justice, or is it just the punishment due?
