Well so much for not ranting.... Todays Rant: The truth about our legal system. Ive found myself repeating this several time over the last weeks, Soooo... Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall up with our English dead!! Proof that our legal system is not based upon Justice, but upon one segment of our society seeking to subjugate another: 3.2% of humans are criminals. This statistic is more or less constant across all demographics. There are @41 million people of color in the United States. We should reasonably expect the number of people of color who are criminals to be @ 1.32 million. IF 100% of this subset were prosecuted and locked up, wed expect our prison to house @1.32 million people of color. The number we lock up is 2.4 million. That would be much closer to 6% (actually @5.85%) Nearly TWICE the percentage. Where laws are unjust, misapplied or protect the guilty, they are no longer laws, but the tools tyranny. And if as George Washington said, we are to Guard against the impostures of pretended patriotism. We as Americans must oppose the law - and those who would seek to use it for personal advancement or anothers subjugation. The drug laws fall here too. What was intended (I assume) as a method to protect our people from the evils of drug addiction has now become nothing but subsidy for the black market, and the private prison industry. Bedfellows indeed. You want to end riots? Then end the injustice. All you accomplish by NOT facing the facts are worse realities. While we can be - and often are unreasonable, no one I know disrespects honesty and fairness. Aint gonna be no peace till man get equal rights and justice. Peter Tosh youtu.be/7EzvDmsl5U0
