| Message | How about, the victim doesn't determine the compensation. No, that is a even better law. Same logic. |

| Message | The victim is harmed, they have a right to be compensated for the harm caused. If the government can take land without the consent of the landowner, the landowner must be able to decide on the amount of compensation they deserve. |
