However we don't live in that society. I don't have the background to understand the law. But I do have the background to understand that if you break the law, you suffer the consequences. These two young men participated in criminal authority and justly paid the price. It's not tragic, it's not sad, it's as a matter of fact, just.

This isn't the first time. In cases where there are no complicating factors, there is still silence. Most incidents of this kind are left out of human rights reports, and statements are simply not made concerning anti-queer violence.
The rest of your post. I don't know what to say to be convincing, but i hope that it is realized that the price of affirming your argument would be that every single law, everywhere would be considered just. This clearly is not the case in my mind. Without resorting to extreme examples, i think history records plenty of laws later seen to be quite unjust in content and application. If a nation banned heterosexual acts under pain of death, would you consider the resulting fatalities to be just?
