Justice Denied

Andrew Klavan makes a point I have been waiting to hear someone make for some time. Although Bill Cosby is a serial rapist, he did not get into legal trouble for being a serial rapist. He got into legal trouble for expressing conservative views. Up to the moment he did, he was perfectly free to rape as many women as he liked. But he called for social responsibility, and so went to prison post haste.

Unlike all the folks on Jeffrey Epstein’s list of clients. Unlike whoever offed Jeffrey Epstein. Unlike Hunter Biden. Unlike the Clintons. 

These are only a few example of how politically perverted the justice system is, in the US or in Canada. The guy who recently stabbed ten people to death in Saskatchewan, and wounded another fifteen or more, had been released on parole after 59 convictions, some for violent offenses. Although in violation of parole, he had been at large for three months. Tamara Lich, by contrast, was denied bail having never been convicted of any offense, and having been charged only with mischief. She simply had the wrong political opinions. A nationwide manhunt was called for her over supposedly violating her bail conditions, a bogus claim, even though she was sitting in her sister’s home all that time.

Many of the people who wandered into the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021, are still in detention, without trial. Few who participated in the looting, killing and burning of the summer of 2020 have been charged. For they did not support Trump.

The essence of justice is equal protection under law. Biased application of the laws had much to do with the rise of the Nazis in Weimar Germany.

 Our current system is not a justice system. It is an injustice.
