I don’t follow. If nobody has done anything wrong, no wrong is done.
If the courts are allowed to dispense justice as they see justice to be, their doing so is indeed proper.
We are not bothered when a jewish murderer is executed. We are bothered if the court acted improperly.
Our only job in this world is to do what G-d wants. G-d wants us to run our courts in a certain way, and for the goyim to run their courts in a certain way. The results are G-d’s job. (He does a good job.)
We are not bothered if we execute 1 million innocent people. We are bothered if we execute even one murderer, if the witnesses were brothers.
We are not bothered if the goyim execute myriads of innocent people. We are only bothered if they do things which are unjust.
I have no reason to believe that the American legal system is not reasonably just. They try their best; its pretty good. It’s not against halacha, and it’s not against my morals.
