My heart is bursting. On the eve of my first child's birth, my dad - who's been in prison nearly my entire life - was granted clemency. He never intended harm, yet his crime devastated many families. My heart breaks for the families that can never get their loved ones back.

Why should you be able to see your dad if those sons and daughters of those who died in the commission of a crime he was involved with dont ever get to see theirs? Can you actually give a good answer to those families? This is what justice should have been but is now been undone

The saying two wrongs don't make a right exists for a reason, you know. Compounding a tragedy with another tragedy doesn't actually fix anything. Your form is 'justice' looks an awful lot like revenge and not like actual justice.

A tragedy is a when a murderer or someone who conspires to commit (a) murder is being freed by a politician, a crooked one.

Ah yes, I forgot, the Greeks famously created tragedy plays that only focused on convicts being unjustly set free. Tragedy doesn't cover anything aside from that. Not at all. Natural disasters? Nah. Genocide? Nahh. Just what you said.
