The Attorney General Doesn’t Know the Difference Between Justice and Revenge
Very revealing article. Commies side with criminals (because they are criminals themselves, and their they have a deep fellow feeling towards all criminals) so they HATE justice. Unless they wield power, and then they use the existing “justice” system to destroy their enemies. According to the puke who wrote the article, feeling satisfaction when justice is served is the same as revenge. Haha. They just don’t want to be the ones on the receiving end! And they will be! I love it!

“Americans have tended recently to view [justice] more as a process, as if the criminal justice process is justice, and it isn’t. It’s a process that’s supposed to achieve justice, but very frequently doesn’t.”
You probably don’t need a reminder, but Barr is the man whose job is to oversee the process of criminal justice in this country. Statements like that are only slightly removed from what his boss has said in the past.
“We need quick justice and we need strong justice — much quicker and much stronger than we have right now. Because what we have right now is a joke and it’s a laughingstock. And no wonder so much of this stuff takes place,” the president told reporters.
When Barr and Trump use the word “justice,” what they are actually talking about is revenge. Movies like Dirty Harry and Death Wish exploit the feeling of satisfaction that comes with revenge, while the very process Barr is disparaging was put in place as the alternative to that kind of vigilantism. When it works properly, our criminal justice system is meant to be based on evidence and facts, not feelings. That is the ideal to which we should all be striving.
Hoo boy! The article is insane, very revealing, everyone should read it! A few more “gems”, so the poor violent criminals are only that way because the poor creatures feel “powerless”! And they call AG Barr an “abomination”! These fiends are pieces of steaming excrement.

In a culture imbued with toxic masculinity, the characters played by Clint Eastwood and Charles Bronson are held up as heroes. But the feelings that they exploit emanate from the sense of powerlessness Orwell describes. That is what you will always find at the root of violence and revenge.
The primary goals of the criminal justice system are: accurate identification of the person responsible, fair adjudication, retribution, deterrence, rehabilitation and restoration.
Justice also provides protections for those who are innocent until proven guilty. All of that requires a set of agencies and institutions who abide by a defined set of procedural rules and limitations. Several of those rules and limitations are outlined in the Bill of Rights.
That is the process that the attorney general so glibly dismisses in favor of revenge. He is an abomination to the office.
