Someone out there defrauded someone else, only by the greatest stretch did this even occur in even the same country I inhabit. Therefore I must agree to paying to lock up and internationally fly the perpetrator for something that happened in the other hemisphere for a transaction i am in no way connected to,or else I am a victim blamer who needs to take a walk.

I'm not crazy, this world is.



You could take this general concept and apply it to literally any criminal prosecution you disagree with or may feel "disconnected from", domestically or internationally.

There are people who feel that a wrong should be righted, and there are those who may disagree. That's okay. Nobody is crazy for disagreeing. But that's what happens in this sorta system - sometimes, people think money is wasted if it's something that they disagree with. There will never be a way to make everyone agree with every prosecution, or use of tax dollars.

C'est la vie.


I would prefer something more akin to voluntarily funded prosecutions and jailing when they are extraterritorial. That way everyone who pays for something that happened outside where we even have representation at least agrees to it, since we have no real vote on the extraterritorial civil environment.


Okay.
