The next day, news headlines celebrated the Christmas miracle. I realized that justice isn’t only about enforcing laws—it’s about protecting the vulnerable, showing mercy, and standing up when the system fails.
I later met Thomas Reeves. “Why did you come that night?” I asked.
“Because you needed to see what your decisions do,” he said.
Today, St. Catherine’s thrives. The bikers continue to protect the orphanage. The children are safe. The community rallied. And I carry the lesson that sometimes true justice comes not from a gavel, but from heart, courage, and action.
Two hundred bikers surrounded an orphanage on Christmas Eve.
And they taught a judge what justice really means.
