Listening to the stories of the victims of crime here is like having your heart not just sink but also dragged through the gutter. I can imagine that every day of not seeing the criminal that tore a loved one from them brought to justice is a day spent partly in anguish.
The victims of crime in Coatesville have called on the city for retribution. They have called on the District Attorney for retribution. Asking the inept Administration of the City of Coatesville to do anything is a futile task. I believe that retribution is coming from the District Attorney’s side. But it looks as though the city administration is more concerned with the rights of criminals than their victims.
Seeing a criminal brought to justice does bring relief to the victims of crime and their loved ones. For some reason that relief or, if you will, pleasure brought by the arrest, conviction and sentencing of a criminal is something that we don’t like to talk about. That pleasure felt is real and it helps to fill a hole in the hearts of the victims of criminals. It is a hole that gets more empty and more lonely as time goes by without retribution.
