Our justice system is clearly far from perfect and does not always arrive at the correct conclusion (guilty people being set free or innocent people being sent to prison).

But it's still the most fair system we've got.

(I realize that having an itchy trigger finger on an internet-forum is a pretty low consequence thing and it makes people feel validated when they can express outrage.)

But the best course of action is to be rational, not impulsive.
