    And when I say I don’t trust judges and that the justice system of most places is broken for giving a single person the final decision power, based on whatever they think is right, people say I’m trolling.

    Judges pull decisions out of their ass to fulfill whatever interest they have. Or sometimes just because they are stupid.

    Good judges are super rare.

      Yeah, better let the internet mob, who barely takes time to read an understand a newspaper article, pass judgement.

      That’s a judiciary system I’d want to live under.

        I talk about the power being in the hand of a single person, and your first alternative is the internet?

      You’re absolutely right unfortunately. I had to witness myself. That day, I lost my believe in our justice system (that was in Germany).

        Same here, judge didn’t know the law and denied my request, where another government body (that deals with that type of thing exclusively) already said I was right. Brazil

      Yeah in this case I think it’s more a case of “hey this guy looks kind of like my son”. In this case I think it led to a miscarriage of justice, but I think in other cases that kind of thinking could protect against excessively harsh punishments. In the end I think it comes down to inequality. Bigger inequality shrinks the pool of people judges can intuitively relate to, which in turn makes judgements more unequal.
