I've often seen that pattern. When someone is murdered and someone is convicted for it, the bereaved insist, no matter how controversial the trial, that justice has been done and that any querying of the verdict is an insult to the memory of their loved one.
It's completely barking mad, but then, people are crazy.
(Edit:) And welcome, erica.
In fact, the bereaved normally do this before and throughout the trial, and sometimes continue afterwards even if the accused are not convicted. The media loves displaying them during the trial.
Thanks for the Welcome. I laughed at the illustration.
Thanks for your replies. Orientation increased to 37% :)
Most but not all. There is a small contingent of UK people, myself included. There were meet ups for a bit in London, but those have fallen by the wayside recently.
Somebody posted a breakdown by country a while back. You can probably find it in the search. I think the US was the largest group by raw count.
I'm from Australia by the way. Also, welcome.
