IMO, the criminal justice system is clogged and corrupt. So I agree with the general thrust of what you say. I only disagree with your proposed solution, because (1) it might result in preventing the prosecution of the boys, (2) it might make the system MORE clogged and corrupt and dysfunction than it already is, and (3) it recklessly disregards the rights of "the People" to establish and maintain institutions to promote justice and liberty. For example, if the local district attorney is not getting the job done, the responsible response is to either replace the DA or to help him or her identify and eliminate the obstacle to getting the job done. Bypassing the DA with a vigilante action does not fix the problem; it will likely make it worse. It is also a new crime, a new offense against the public. In this instance, Anonymous is just a criminal, no better than some murderer who claims that his victim "deserved to die".
