> it's telling that you think courts are objective...
So, if you think that the court system, with it's experts, and centuries of experience, with fallbacks and checks and balances, with emphasis on applying the law with regard to precedent and societal input, with appeals and formal processes that must be followed ... is unable to be objective, what makes you think that random people with an actual specified bias is more objective?
I dunno about you, but I'll take my chances in court over someone who literally shouts their bias to the world any day.
All the arguments for mob justice that you are attempting to make are the same arguments the KKK made for their justice.

There’s a difference between able to be objective and being objective. Anyone who believe that’s American Courts, or rather, courts are objective is someone I hope has a really good lawyer if they ever go to court.
