Jesus and the Woman "Caught in Adultery"

There's something that's been on my mind since this morning. Referencing the account of the "woman caught in adultery," there was a picture that said something along the lines of "the only one who had the right to throw a stone didn't." And it just hasn't sat well with me ever since.
     This wasn't a trial. This wasn't legal, or justice of any kind, not Jewish and not Roman. The Mosaic Law required two or three witnesses. None came forward. Roman law forbade the Jews from executing anyone themselves for any reason (with good justification from their past dealings with Jewish rulers). This was a woman who was thrown in front of Jesus as though her life meant nothing and threatened with death for the sole purpose of entrapping Him. No actual witnesses were brought forward. She might have been just pulled off the street at random. Worse, she might have been a teenage girl seduced by one of the Pharisees for the sole purpose of doing away with Jesus. Yes, they and the Sadducees could be that hateful and nasty. We see the same kind of events play out in countries like India, Iran, and Saudi Arabia where women are raped, treated like trash, and then accused of adultery and executed. 1st Century Judea wasn't much different than Afghanistan or Iran in this respect. If anything, it was Roman law and order which helped to restrain these abuses if only a little. Even the Romans didn't execute defenseless women in front of temples to their gods by throwing rocks at them, and certainly not for infidelity.
     What bothers me most about the little bumper sticker blurb which got under my skin is that many churches teach this passage as though executing this woman might have been a right, or even just course of action. This blurb assumes that Jesus picking up a rock and stoning her was a real possibility.
     Anyone who knew or knows Jesus Christ would know that was never going to happen. I guarantee you, this was one of the few times the smile left His lips, and there was cold rage in his eyes for the men who did this to her, and in front of His Father's house. I guarantee you, He did not care if she had been caught in adultery, prostitution, or pole dancing naked in the street. Using this woman so callously and heartlessly as this was the greater crime, and they had done it not just within His sight, but in full view of His Father's house, without any regard for the true justice of His Father. They might as well flipped His Father the bird right in front of Him.
      The mercy towards the woman was guaranteed the second she appeared. The greater mercy was that the men who did it were allowed to walk away that day. The fig tree which wilted at His word was proof of that.
      We can't normalize this kind of thinking where "moral law" is taken as such an absolute that life means nothing. We especially need to not be okay with a woman, or anyone, being abused or mistreated because someone is twisting said "moral law" to their advantage. The commandments which Jesus taught and said were the most important were to love one another, be merciful to one another, forgive one another. Not once did He ever teach that it was okay to be violent or hateful towards anyone regardless of what they did or what moral law they violated. It was the "Bible Thumpers" who murdered Him who saw their "moral law" as inviolate (except of course, when it came to their own machinations).
     Agreeing with the men hellbent on bashing this poor woman's head in with rocks in any way is not Jesus, is not Christian, and is the antithesis of what being a disciple of Jesus Christ is all about.
