starkers, I agree with you completely. And it saddens me that justice is no longer about right and wrong....it's about rich and poor....
Yeah, my thoughts to a solution may be somewhat over the top, but it just makes me angry ... no, fucking furious that there are parasitic individuals who indecently thrive and become disgustingly wealthy off defending other sick and demented individuals who care absolutely nothing about their fellow man/woman.
In fact, the entire (criminal) legal fraternity, including judges, thrives off the misery and misfortune of victims of crime, while giving far too much consideration to the mongrels who commit atrocious acts against humanity.
When they say in court: "All rise.", I'd feel like saying: "Fuck you! No way can I show such respect to a system that's far too lenient and frees society's worst offenders to continue offending again and again." The thing would be, however, for refusing to stand I would get a longer sentence than the rapist/child molester/murderer who's there for actually harming another individual.
Yep, the priorities are all wrong, but until those with the power to change it actually become powerless victims themselves, nothing will change.
Not that I'm religious or anything, but it says in the Bible that if you condone a sin, you are just a guilty as the perpetrator... in my eyes, the lawyers and judges who set violent criminals free are just as guilty/obnoxious as those they make their ill-gotten gain and living from... sure makes you wonder how the bastards sleep at night.
