Whatever justice is, it cannot be the vengeful, racist, wealth-centered system we have now. Nor can it possibly be found in the the mind of anyone prone to uttering the phrase "fuck this guy".

Whatever justice is, it cannot be forfeiting our own empathy and humanity.

I agree with you to an extent. Where was the robber's empathy and humanity when he decided to commit a violent crime?

I'm sticking with "fuck this guy".

If you really want to bear a cross, I can think of a few better candidates for your poster boy of injustice.

Where is the empathy of a well off white boy who runs over people with his car while drunk and gets away with merely a scolding - beceause his parents are rich and connected enough to get him a good lawyer.

Where was ours when we drove him to that crime?

Unlike some people, I don't feel it is morally appropriate to pick and choose who gets justice.
