To illustrate how I define "rationally just," as an exercise, the outcomes must be generally acceptable if suddenly the perpetrator was someone you loved and cared for. If Miller was suddenly your brother or nephew, in a Canadian legal environment, would the events that transpired be acceptable to you, and would you want that to occur to all other equivalents going forward?

After having his rights renounced by the Coyotes and being removed from the UND hockey team, if, and only if, the next justice to be bestowed on him is being physically mutilated, then we can bring up the Salem Witch trials.
Also, not to ruin Halloween for anyone, but the "witches" didn't do what they were accused of, witches aren't real. Racists are, and they are scarier.
