Thread: Why bother with justice system?

If your quite happy for them to be wandering around, good on you but I would like to suggest forming your own country that follows this philosophy. As much as I know prisons rarely rehabilitate, I would prefer to leave them in prison so we can all get along with life not having to worry about drive by shootings.

I have not said that I am happy with these sorts of people wandering around, or not. What I have questioned is the second guessing of the judgement based on incomplete information gleaned from a single news paper article. While no one is the holder of the truth, the Judge will be the closest to it. I prefer (and mostly trust) the objective weighing of the facts by someone trustworthy, trained and experienced to the publics' reactions based on likely miss information and their political compass. On that basis I guess your assumption that I'm ok with the judgement is correct.
