Why do people go after the innocent party?

[c=#4C0073]I have never understood why people who are angered by the actions of someone go after the innocent. Such as:
Cheating- Why go after the one they cheat with instead of the spouse?
Police brutality - Why kill random cops instead of the one who committed the offense?
Racism - Why random violence? Why not beat up kkk or whatever members?

If you're angry enough to be violent, why create more victims? Why not go after the guilty?[/c]

Because people are inherently stupid.

There's a fairly famous case where a group of idiots went and murdered someone because they found out he was a "paedophile". He was in fact a "paediatrician". So they murdered someone who doesn't abuse children, but someone who helps children. Why? Because they can't spell. I think that summarises where we are in society currently...
