The legal system, as it currently exists, enables and is sometimes the cause of such "barbaric lawless retribution," actually.

Correcting your strawman of my argument: if a rich and influential person suffering because of the corrupt and cruel nature of the current system results in that system changing to be less cruel and corrupt, particularly towards people who are not rich and influential, then please, let them suffer. In the interim, I will assume that your insistence on perpetuating this system, in the face of its cruelty towards thousands of innocents, in the interest of saving one privileged criminal, comes from either a place of deep ignorance or deep bigotry (implicit or otherwise). In either case, I find myself absolved of any need to give your mistaken opinion any further attention.
