Do you think OJ Simpson is innocent? Would you want your daughter or sister to marry him?
The are different standards for a reason. Society is perfectly capable of being aware that someone is a giant dickbag without there being enough evidence to justify using the power of the state to remove their freedom and incarcerate them. Those are two extraordinarily different things and you know it.
To suggest otherwise is to imply that the government is a perfect arbiter of dispute that we should all just blindly accept. Something tells me you wouldn’t be so keen on that stance when it worked against your interests
The government performing arbitration is a power that society has vested in them. The solution to a flawed system is to fix the system, not vigilantism.
The lack of trust in the judiciary is a failure of government and a failure of society.
Yeah, but the whole system is made by people who benefit from it’s flaws, which means that it’s near impossible to fix it without big societal changes. And while we are working on those (we are working on those, right?) we should remember that our current system is flawed.
It is absolutely a failure of society, yes.
Then why isn’t there a revolt? Mass protests? Revolution?
The justice system is literally the foundation of the social contract in society. If it’s flawed and corrupt, society as a whole falls apart. In fact, it should.
Why doesn’t the working class, the bigger of the two classes, not simply eat the rich? There are reasons, tons of them. Mostly, the fact that the rich spend a lot of effort to prevent it, understandably.
The justice system isn’t just, it never is. In fact I struggle to find any historical example of the justice system that would be good, it is at most good enough. But society still chugging along, enduring the unjust system, along with other unjust systems. Until it doesn’t, which lead to the new society with the new, maybe slightly better system, which ultimately is as shit as the previous one.
That’s kind of the corner stone of the human suffering, you know.

I don’t believe OJ Simpson is innocent, even though not convicted in a court of law. Sorry, not sorry
