Harsh justice is still justice.

George R.r. Martin
About This Quote

Harsh justice is still justice. This quote speaks to the idea that harsh justice is still justice. For example, if you are caught by the police for speeding, then it is still justice for you to be fined and receive a ticket. If someone breaks into your house at night and steals all of your money, it is still just as bad to have them arrested and charged with theft.

The idea of “justice” is simply that. It’s about sending a message to other people so that they know not to do the same thing in the future.
