Not in every case, there have been cases as well were this 'blood lust for justice' has been spewed on only accused people. Like the case of the three med students that were thought to be terrorist traveling to Florida. In the aftermath of that case there was no clear cut evidence that they should have even have been under suspicion. Let alone measured, judged, and found wanting by the hanging judges of Ironworks.

Actually, it is my understanding that those poor medical students actually did try and mislead that poor woman with a hoax, and IMHO deserved much more severe punishment than they received. I guess that I could add some snotty remark about liberals, but then I'd lose my shot at one day becoming "one of the few rational conservatives on this board..."

The students deny they made any baiting remarks and that she misunderstood what they were talking about. Since there were no cooberating witnesses and no trial, it boils down to a case of he said/she said. And under the american code of justice you are innocent till proven guilty.
