Bullies and Injustice are Constant Companions
When a bully starts a fight and one defends themselves against a bully, then only the bully should be punished. Of course in order to discern who was the bully and who was the victim one must actually sit down and have a dialogue with the bully and the victim. We live in a culture that punishes for fighting without discovering who started the fight.
I saw a news report this morning of a peaceful conservative group demonstrating while minding their own business. The ANTIFA group came throwing bricks of concrete at them but the news media reports that the two groups had a clash. It wasn't a clash between two groups, it was one wicked group who are violent coming to attack another peaceful group who had the right of redress of grievances, the right to appeal to the government about a matter.
This is the news media in the Portland Oregon area. They deliberately make the event look like both parties were at fault when the peaceful ones were attacked without cause.
This same "no bully" mentality is in schools now as well as government. If two factions are fighting there is no attempt to discern who was the aggressor and who was the victim. One doesn't even have to have evidence anymore to win in a liberal court.
Leviticus 5:1
'Now if a person sins after he hears a public adjuration to testify when he is a witness, whether he has seen or otherwise known, if he does not tell it, then he will bear his guilt."
2 Corinthians 13:1
"This is the third time I am coming to you EVERY FACT IS TO BE CONFIRMED BY THE TESTIMONY OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES."
Sadly in our culture today the one who shouts the loudest is preferred in any situation. The bully wins more than there is justice in this culture.
If you do not believe me take a look at the more than 60 million innocent babies who have been condemned to death by their mothers with the permission of the government merely because they were "inconvenient."
Take a look at the criminals who are being released from jail because they are running out of room to house them on our dime. Many of those criminals should have been executed for their murders, but instead they have a sense of entitlement to live free off of the tax payers for their crime.
And we think this is justice? No, its anarchy and injustice.

A friend wrote "if you are sinning in secret, God sees."
I would add to this, if you are a covert (secretive) narcissists using sneaky tactics to harm others while thinking you can just deny what you did, think again. God sees those sneak attacks to cause harm, you will not get away with it.
There is a solution to cleansing and that is 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
Ecclesiastes 11:9
(9) Rejoice, young man, during your childhood, and let your heart be pleasant during the days of young manhood. And follow the impulses of your heart and the desires of your eyes. Yet know that God will bring you to judgment for all these things.

Psalms 19:12 "Who can understand his errors? cleanse thou me from secret faults."
Isaiah 28:16-17
(16) Therefore thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, A costly cornerstone {for} the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes {in it} will not be disturbed.
(17) "I will make justice the measuring line And righteousness the level; Then hail will sweep away the refuge of lies And the waters will overflow the secret place."

Truth or Knowledge
Love of truth is far different from love of knowledge. Anyone can gather information to appear superior, but the love of truth will often make us look silly to the world.
1 Corinthians 8:1-2 "1 Now about food sacrificed to idols: We know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. 2 The one who thinks he knows something does not yet know as he ought to know.…"
