The entire criminal justice system in of itself is full of inherent problems and issues that are grossly out of balance with the natural order and cosmic law. From the lowly street cop at the bottom, to the entrenched supreme court judge at the top wielding his absolute power over the people. The justice system has never been more oppressive and overreaching.
In recent events we have a teen by the name of Brock Turner, who was a swimmer at Stanford University, rapes an unconscious, intoxicated girl during some party. He was released 3 months early from his 6 month sentence. His father told the judge that he didn't feel that Brock needed long because it would mess him up mentally. Who cares? He raped an innocent girl and you think if he spends too much time in jail it could mess him up mentally? What about the mental state of the innocent girl? How is that not on anyone's mind, more specifically the judges mind. You let a rapist get out of jail within three months and he still goes back to school. How is that showing justice to the girl whose life was ruined?
Then you have a girl by the name of Michelle Carter who manipulates her boyfriend Conrad into killing himself. He refuses several times and she continues to push him over into thinking its the right and only thing to do. Michelle was sentenced to 15 months of jail time. 15 months? Seriously? This woman thought it was okay to make her boyfriend suffer for so long without getting him help or helping him herself. She helped take the life of an innocent broken man and she only gets 15 months? Where is the justice for Conrad? 15 months is not justice, that's a free and quick ride back to her regular life. She deserves so much more than what she got, but that's the thing, our justice system never gives justice to the ones who need it most.
All of this is at the height of insanity. And yet here we are, just going through the motions of our blind statism, allowing it all to go down-ignorant, naïve, apathetic, and docile in our myopic allegiance to a system that simply does not work for healthy, reasonable, innocent human beings.
We've all heard the common cliché, innocent until proven guilty, but the way it actually works is guilty until proven innocent, or worse, guilty until proven guilty. Or in Brock/Michelle's case, guilty and let out super early because they are generous. One of the biggest flaws of the justice system is that when something bad is done, they try to turn it into something positive, so in a way, helps them have a lesser sentence. There is nothing positive about rape or manipulating someone into killing themselves.
The justice system really needs to get its act together. Your goal is to find justice for the innocents. Not have them wonder if you are doing the right or wrong thing by letting their perpetrators out early. You have a job, and lately, you have failed at doing your job. Like Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
