Your Law vs. My Justice

Watched two movies in a row that talk about making decisions under a legal system. The American legal system, or any western legal system, is so "ethical" that it can be an ironic joke sometimes. Fracture, Unthinkable, and now Law Abiding Citizen. All these movies present a story in which justice is nothing more than tool to protect the smartass, nothing more than the bread that feeds those who compromise. Like what Clyde said in the movie:
   
"You're too busy treating the law like it's a fucking assembly line"

But aren't we all accomplices of this killing machine by just standing here and watching?
