Is this Just?

Before ending class on Monday you asked the question of did we think what they did to the woman was fair. After thinking I came to the conclusion that it wasn't fair for them to continue to torture her. I understand once as sort of an experiment to show her how her reasoning of being "under someone's control to record a death" was inaccurate, but there comes a point in time where justice can turn you into being an injust person. It is not right to attack a person or even torture them, justice should always be morally right in my eyes. But what I've seen from class discussions we as people can't seem to make a difference from what morality is and what justice is. A person living in a fantasy will state that they both should go hand and hand which is true, especially in the white bear case. Yes what the young lady did was morally wrong and an injustice to society, but that makes all bystanders wrong. We have people every day who will record an injustice happening not for police evidence but for social media views and like, but are those people tortured with a reminder of what they did every day? No but back to the real problem with white bear the people who felt as if she needed to be punished for recording a child's death are the same people who are willing to record and participate in her torture. When trying to create a just society we can not allow one form of "legally" injustice and label another as injustice. Yet we have this problem in real life way too often. The world will never be right if we continue to allow certain injustices in the name of the law.
