His family believes otherwise.

Is it justice for Jordan Neely's father go shoot Daniel Penny in the back for killing his son?

I've stated this entire time there is no difference between justice and revenge. You call it revenge if Jordan Neely's father kills Penny. His father would call it justice.

Is it justice that Trump was found guilty of supposedly raping some chick ages ago, or revenge? Is it justice that Trump was charged with election crimes or revenge? All a matter of opinion.

That would be revenge.

Justice is outward-facing and considers the broader good, while revenge is inward-facing and driven by personal emotions.

So Trump being charged and found guilty of whatever it was in NY was justice?

Call it whatever you like.

If you prefer to live in a country where everyone takes the law into their own hands and the mob rules the day, there are plenty of shithole Shiria law Islamic State war zones you can choose from. Our justice system is far from perfect, but still the best in the world.

Those 2 terms aren't interchangeable though. One is societal and the other is personal.

Trump was never found guilty of raping anyone.. he was found liable for defamation of the chick that alleged he sexually assaulted her.

And charges against Trump aren't the same as a conviction.

Yes.

Whether it was right or wrong is an opinion, but he was charged and found guilty in a court of law.

Again, it is all point of view based. Neely's side would likely consider it to be righting a wrong and restoring what they consider a balance.

Penny's side would consider it revenge.

Terrorists to us may be freedom fighters to others, blah blah blah, philosophical debate.

Obviously, yes. I’m attempting to find a simple example that we can all understand to describe the difference between justice and vengeance.

And that is why we have a justice system that strives to be impartial, fair, and balanced.

Pretty much what I've been saying. Also revenge is faster.
