Is there no distinction between a guilty and an innocent. The legal system unsures that an innocent person is never ever punished(exceptions are there but generally it does not happen). It has a system of evidence collection and trial and based on facts a guilty is given punishment, even death. So when a legal system gives punishment to a guilty it does a right to a wrong and not a wrong to a wrong. In rioting you are killing someone just because he is associated with that religion or community or sometimes country. The person has nothing to do at all with the crime. This comparison is what i call sophistry. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Ah! I missed this one...


So, you are saying that there can be no comparison between former (individual right and wrong n "Corrections") AND latter ( riots n mob actions) categories.

Also, pray tell us, how does "ideology" of any sort play into the latter category as you view it, since there should be ideological influence on the former (but it has in India anyway) and how you account for it while dispensing justice (right, wrong and all those troublesome moral issues)

Then how do you propose using "legal system" whic is the tool of the former category to avert / rectify incidents that belong to latter category?
