Anathema

Well if you feel that way perhaps you should realize something. Nobody agrees with you. Oh a handful of idiotic radicals might. But a vast majority think you are a loon and your ideals are idiotic.
I more than fully realize that there are few who agree with me. There are more than you think, but not as many as there should be. That’s YOUR problem, not mine.
part of Justice is insuring you have the right person. Convicting someone for the crime isn’t enough. You need to convict the right person. Let’s say you find a body. You arrest and convict someone for the crime. The exact same crime happens. Again and again. You keep killing people for the crime but they continue. You haven’t gotten the right person.
That is where legality that you so disdain comes in. Because the Founders had the idea. A good one for the rest of us. A bad one for you. The idea was that it should be hard to convict someone. That is why four of the ten original Bill of Rights deals with courts and rights of the accused. Five if you include the civil court rights.
Justice is the insurance that all of the Guilty are punished for their crimes. Obviously you do your best to get the Guilty person, but when someone cannot provide any proof they’re not Guilty, they need to be considered Guilty.
When the system is intrinsically biased against getting the Guilty parties punished, that system has no validity in my mind.
Now on to your morality argument. I have no idea what Religion you consider yourself. I have no clue what religious texts you follow. What I can say is that it is at odds with every mainstream religion including Islam that I have heard of. Well except those blithering idiots in Kansas who protest at the Funerals of Soldiers. But again basically nobody thinks you are right.
I don’t believe in Religion. I believe in Universal Morality... the idea that the Divine power of the Universe has placed our Souls here to test their ability to live Properly in spite of the opportunities not to.
I stopped caring if anyone liked or agreed with me at age four, forty-plus years ago.
