It’s true that life is unfair, but I think there is more to why bad things happen to good people than just saying, “That’s how life is.”
If people think God should have told Alma to intervene, at what point should it have happened? After a few died? After most of them died, then stop them? Or keep them from ever burning anybody? At what point do we think God should intervene so that bad things don’t happen to good people and yet bad people get punished for what they do? If we think about that, we realize the bad people have to actually DO something bad before God can punish them, and I think we all agree that they DO need punished for being evil.
If God were to protect all good and innocent people from all harm from bad people, He would be taking away the bad people’s agency, which we fought a war over. The only way to keep bad from happening to good people would be for God to be the “thought police”. He would look at their intentions and stop them before they DO anything so that good people don’t get hurt.
If we want to have agency to do good, there has to be agency to DO bad. It is one of the most important parts of God’s Plan of Salvation.

The saints that have and will suffer in several ways for their faith in our Savior. These could possibly have saved themselves by denying. They did not so they were received by the Lord. Will I qualify to be received?
