AI> Googled the retribution .... Retribution comes from the Latin for giving back what's due, either reward or punishment. But when we talk about retribution, we only talk about punishment. The old punishment code of "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth," is an example of retribution. Some people think about large events like tornados or earthquakes as cosmic retribution for human pride. Some synonyms are compensation, recompense, requital. And yes... eye for an eye business is fine by me. We have a guy who killed someone, was seen on video doing it. A few days later he does a press interview saying he did it.... He should not have resisted... with a gun... and we might have been able to hang him at a later date.
