1. I wondered about that too.

But my friend said it's the basic underlying premise, it's what the title is about. That times had changed, people had gotten worse since his early days as a policeman, and that this was no country for old men like the sheriff. The ending was about the sheriff finally realizing that he couldn't win.

2. Well I guess that makes sense...

3. I was zoning out by the end. Too much brutality. I didn't even listen to that sheriff's last speech.

4. evil is random and does not get punished

all the old saws about how justice prevails are things we tell ourselves to get through life. You start out thinking you are going to make the biggest difference and then, as you age, you see how the horrors of life wear you down. You see there is no justice, and it is hard to want to fight that fight anymore.
