The majority of murderers & pedophiles go regularly unpunished today. 
E.g., those who price food, clean water, medicines, & other 
necessities out of the hands of the poor; those who refuse to make 
safety equipment & procedures available to workers & consumers; those 
who order wars & economic sanctions; those who kill with governments' 
approval; sex tourists who patronize young prostitutes in poor 
nations, etc.
