I think of it not as being right, or good, but truly just. Justice was never about being good or right, but a manifestation of karma. Like the 'ol "If a son shall strike is father, his hand will be cut off".

If you hold responsibility for decisions that unjustly, for no good reason, killed people, death is a just punishment.

As the one of the oldest laws of justice, "An eye for an eye".
