And a lot of that type of anger was also voiced at the press conference. (From about 11 min to 1 hour 22 min.)

A consistent refrain was condemnation of these rich and powerful people who believe they can get away with anything because they believe their money protects them.

I don't read that as merely a call for justice. I see that as a condemnation of a system that gives rise to such people -- the recognition that in such a system holding the wealthy to account has been almost impossible.
