When the arrests happen, why SHOULD the cabal be guarded?
The angry masses can come up with punishments far more fitting of the cabal’s heinous crimes than any legal system ever could. Them being punished in an appropiate way is the important part. Mere firing squad won’t reflect their atrocities.
Example punishments fitting their atrocities: Watanagashi (guts opened up with razor sharp farm implements -reach into the wound and slowly pull out the guts and throw them onto the ground), live dissection, dumped into a vat of molten gold, keel hauled, the Brazen Bull, etc.
