Regarding all of the #pardon and #unity posts and other calls for #reconciliation, I'm all for those that deserve consideration with one warning; without consequence there is no law.

If you want the law to be honored and if you want justice to have any meaning, there must be consequence. Law breakers and those contemplating a path of corruption and any who hold criminal intent must fear consequence. 

Fear of consequence means nothing if the reality of that  consequence isn't measured out and experienced as an example for all.
