    You can still punish people without an eye for an eye.

    If a person loses control of their car and kills a pedestrian, an eye for an eye would mean the perpetrator would be killed.

    A just legal system would put them in jail, make them pay financial restitution, and suspend their license.

    Our actual legal system gives them a slap on the wrist and says don’t do that again
