During the January 7 terror attack on the Charlie Hebdo headquarters, several Paris police officers fled, unable to disarm the threat, because they themselves were unarmed and outgunned.

There’s a reason that the Left doesn't talk about “justice” but rather “social justice.” It’s because the modifier they insert changes the very meaning of the word. It is a “modified” version of justice — what David Horowitz calls here their justice — that they seek and that “justice” is the very antithesis of what decent people think.
