Do we Need the Government? (5) - Justice from Thieves

Most people who have something stolen expect two things to happen. They expect the stolen goods to be returned and they expect the thief to suffer sufficient penalty to discourage them from stealing again. Civil government cannot be counted on to do either of these things. The fines collected by the justice system go to the government.

The victim only rarely receives financial compensation for their troubles. The amazing this is that this is now accepted as normal.
