That may be true, but that point in time is not yours to determine. Perhaps you'll remember the name Javaid Iqbal. Javaid Iqbal is a Pakastani Muslim arrested after 9/11 on trumped up charges and beaten severely. In 2001. After he was released, he filed a lawsuit to try and bring the guilty parties to justice. He fought in court for 8 years until his case finally reached the Supreme Court, where he lost 4-5. Would you look this man in the face and tell him that he's wrong to seek justice?

They mourn as a part of the process of closure. Believe me when I say that if you've been victimized, it's easier to get closure if the perpetrator has been brought to justice.
