Mercy will probably end giving more peace of mind than justice would...at least in the long run. But justice might end up preventing more wrong doing than mercy in the long run, too.
So I dont know.

Mercy for those that didn't fuck with me.
Justice for those who did.

In hindsight, you could determine that it would have been better to imprison or execute a particular person than to let them commit crimes they later committed, but if you think that imprisoning a potentially innocent person can be justified by the potential crimes they could commit if they were free, that same logic could be used to imprison anyone, if you could envision them committing a serious enough crime.
