Hoping that justice will be served.
How does one define justice? The Faubert family were violently victimized by having a loved member of their family murdered. I do business with the Faubert family. My baby daughter attends that St. Isidore school. A gang killing in our small rural community is extremely heartbreaking for our whole community. We live in peace and our peace has been destroyed. Not only is the Faubert family victimized, our community is victimized. We want restitution but we must accept justice.
