Two weeks I was in hospital recovering and on the day I was released they caught the person responsible for the attack. Justice will be done and Alice will be avenged. The law is just and the guilty will be punished.
I sat in the court and listened to his lawyer. He made it sound like he was the victim. His poor upbringing, parental abuse, lack of being able to find employment and so on.
The jury came back with guilty. For twenty minutes the judge droned on how sad it was that this young man, due to circumstances beyond his control, was forced to commit these acts.
After all was said and done, he gave him a five year suspended sentence. My Alice lay cold in her grave and he was free to walk the streets to commit more crimes.
I yelled out. “How can this be justice? This is not justice, this is a farce.”
All that got me was a warning from the judge. Should there be another outburst like that I would be jailed for thirty days. If I speak the truth I will be jailed yet he can kill and walk free, something is terribly wrong.
For many days I was lost in my thoughts, and they were dark indeed. By the end I came to the conclusion that if the law fails us then we must not fail justice.
For months I trained myself to shoot. I was becoming that good that I could put every bullet through the bullseye, not only through it but the same hole for every bullet. I was ready for justice.
There were many high profile cases that took my attention. Firstly the criminal, then the lawyer involved and lastly the judge. A bullet through each eye sent them to face their god. I had terminated my fourth case, as I liked to call them, when the killer of my Alice was in my sights. Once he was dispatched the lawyer and judge followed.
“Is the law blind?” was the favourite headline followed by, “Who will face Blind Justice next?”
The media had named me blind justice. I was hated by the law and law givers but it appears that there was a movement that supported my cause.
I take no pleasure in what I do but I will not cease until balance has been restored. Should you escape the law you will not escape my justice.
