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.
