Now, you are wanted for murder. |
| [00:05] |
For the sake of my knowledge, let's just assume that you did it. |
| [00:09] |
Jon Ruth wants to take you back to Red Rock to stand trial for murder. |
| [00:11] |
And if, you are found guilty, the people of Red Rock will hang you in the town square. |
| [00:22] |
And as the hangman, I will perform the execution. |
| [00:24] |
And, if all those things end up taking place, that's what civilized society calls "justice". |
| [00:34] |
However, if the relatives and the loved ones of the person you murdered are outside that door! right now! and are to bust down that door! they drag you out into snow and hang you up! by the neck! that, would be "frontier justice". |
| [00:53] |
Now, the good part about "frontier justice" is. it's very thirst-quenching, bad part is, it's apt to be wrong as right. |
| [01:05] |
(Jon Ruth) But now in your case, in your case you had it coming, other people may not so much. |
| [01:11] |
(The Hangman) But ultimately, what's the real difference between the two? The real difference, is me, the hangman. |
| [01:19] |
To me it doesn't matter what you did, I hang you I won't get any satisfaction from you death it's my job. |
| [01:25] |
I hang you in Red Rock, I move on the the next town, I hang some else there. |
| [01:30] |
The man who pulls the lever, that breaks your neck, will be a dispassionate man, and that dispassion, is the very essence of justice, for justice delivered without dispassion, is always in danger of not being justice. |
