Not just a comment on the legal system, but also the complete lack of mental and emotional maturity in society thaty leads to people resorting to senseless violence (shooting the lawnmower) any time they're unhappy. Back to the legal system, it's also a shot at how the courts don't solve a lot of problems, and they seem to interpret "taking action" as a literal term -- their job is done because they've done something, they dont' really have to fix any problems or do anything productive.
