Catching someone in the act of harming little ones and dispatching that someone quickly didn't sound like injustice to me. Justice didn't always mean a trial, not when catching someone in flagrant crime and especially with other innocents around at risk.
15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
16 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;
17 Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;
19 Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
20 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.
21 And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.
Romans is New Testament. Deuteronomy is Old Testament. Go look up the concept of supersessionism to understand why countering the commands of the New Covenant in Jesus and the New Testament supersedes the Old Law.
Judges were just another name for elohim..aka aliens..psychopaths who killed millions with their nukes...read Isiah they took the firstborn baby and passed it through the fire to show I am the lord..the baby and the firstborn animal too....
Funny you never see preachers quoting this when they are quoting good bits of Psalms etc
No, vengeance belongs to God. We bring these monsters to JUSTICE, but not vengeance.
Deuteronomy 32:35: "Vengeance is mine" (Gods) Romans 12:17-18: "Repay no one evil for evil"

Read Deuteronomy 19:15-21
15 One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established.
16 If a false witness rise up against any man to testify against him that which is wrong;
17 Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the Lord, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
18 And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;
19 Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
20 And those which remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil among you.

Aliens aside, "judges" are British nobility and have no authority in America.
No.
What we suffer, we look for God to avenge.
However, we are called to protect those who cannot protect themselves. This will, at times, mean the wicked will suffer violence.
I think many of us would respond with rage...and I can't be convinced that God didn't put a dash of His vengence into that rage when he created us.
