“If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime.”

This used to be my view. And, truth be told, it is still mainly my view. But, I have questions...

Look at how the criminal justice system has been manipulated against General Flynn.

Of course, his is a political persecution and not retribution for real criminal wrongdoing... but if the system can be turned against someonly like him, do you think it's not being used in similar fashion in other cases that we never even hear of?

I'm pro-cop, I'm pro-victims rights. But I'm also pro-truth and pro-justice.

The leftist talking heads ramble on about how dangerous it is that we're losing faith in so many institutions, but this loss of faith isn't completely random. Sometimes we have reason to lose that faith.

There are exceptions and indeed, wrongful prosecutions. But, on the main, the system that we have is the best and most fair in the history of man. It also is completely consistent with our founding views of God-given rights and our democratic principals.

If I took you on a personal tour of the state prison near me, you would leave thinking not one of those inmates didn’t deserve to be there. Most of them have simply insisted in going after four or five “second chances.”

I have worked with leos

One jail LEO tells me that when they have open beds, the local beat guys are given a list of people on probation, usually between 17 and 25 and they knock on their doors on Weekend nights to see if they are violating their parole, like having a beer, or a cigarette, at home.

They are locked up to fill cells.
