    I think they don't really know where they're going but I guess they're just trying to go to other place where there's justice, not like Omelas.

    I thought a lot about the same question. I think it is a metaphor on life and how we don't really know where it may take us. It could be saying that we should steer ourselves away from this kind of immoral behavior (this one particular event most likely represents ALL immoral behavior) even if it means we have to leave our comfort zones (utopian Omelas)
