American Justice

"Let's start with a premise that I don't think a lot of Americans are aware of. We have five percent of the world's population; we have 25 percent of the world's known prison population. There are only two possibilities here: either we have the most evil people on earth living in the United States; or we are doing something dramatically wrong in terms of how we approach the issue of criminal justice," - Jim Webb

This is all about "getting tough on crime".. the right wing meme..

If you want to pin the blame for this mess, it rests squarely on the pants pissing conservatives who are afraid of anything and everything.. especially young black guys.

I honestly don't see this changing, even if we are in a dramatic recession and imprisoning people costs a lot of money, and doesn't do a damn thing about crime rates.

The DEA is a scam.. and the prison industry is a scam... and a very large part of general "law enforcement" is a scam.

There's simply no sane reason not to decriminalize pot and let every single non-violent drug offender out of prison... right now.

Speaking of American Justice.. last week we had a local cop in the news. He pulled over a Houston Texans football player for running a red light. He stopped him in the parking lot of a hospital. His mother in law was in the process of dying, and the officer refused to allow him to go and instead wrote a ticket while she died. He later apologized, but that was only because he was forced to.

There are some really good cops out there, risking their lives and doing the right thing.. but there's a hell of a lot more than you'd expect who are corrupt.. liars.. and dangerous assholes. There's a whole lot of them.

There's a new young pretty white missing girl on my teevee. Only young... very pretty.. girls.. ever get to be on the teevee when they are missing. This is because people only really care about pretty young white girls..

I know this is uncomfortable as hell.. it's all about sex... deep down, nobody gives a shit about a missing 30 year old black guy.. or even an unattractive boy.. it's only the young pretty white girls that anybody looks for.. and then when they inevitably turn up dead.. they mourn and mourn.. and the trial is on the teevee, and the parents cry and cry..

meanwhile.. there are countless people who simply vanish that nobody but the closest family members care about.

In case anyone hasn't noticed by now, I have a really low opinion of most people.
