You are all too familiar with government, it seems. However, it is not government that will hold itself to account, except as mobs with torches and pitchforks threaten. It is we, ourselves, that are holding these criminals to account, and we don't need government to do that. Indeed, as you point out, when we leave government to the job, it does more in the breach.
Courts are like pressure valves that allow public outrage to be bled off instead of destroying the entire system. Since the dead and dying of our loved ones continue to outrage us, this pressure should continue to force the courts to tackle the criminals that caused that outrage, and these prosecutions will reach higher and range further as the prosecutions continue. I expect the coming trials and executions to dwarf Nuremberg.
Thanks!

Exactly right! It is the people alone that can change things!
