Identifying and bringing to justice those responsible for this heinous crime should be the immediate expectation; anything less would be akin to a betrayal, and the people of this country have a right to feel frustrated and angry. This failure to anticipate and prevent such attacks -- attacks we have seen plenty of over the past year or so -- reflects a shockingly dangerous absence in governance. Beyond its task of bringing to justice those who are responsible for the murder of Hadi, it is imperative that they also identify and prosecute those who led the charge in these violent mobs. Instead, it has been reduced to events marred by violence that do nothing for his legacy, nor bring to justice the true perpetrators that were responsible for his untimely death. This is not what justice looks like.
