Who said the real world was fair?

Sure, it is an ideal thing to hope for a fair trial and due process, but if I stick a target on my back by doing something edgy, the last thing I would expect is to get treated fairly as a first reaction to something.

That's a valid point, but it doesn't mean the absence of a fair trial is something that should be ignored, and it's quite reasonable to demand a fair trial in a situation where one has been denied to you.
