The next time a "militia nutcase" or "tax protester" or some other generally accepted undesirable claims he's getting railroaded by the courts, the crowds will cry "he's a dirtbag, he got what he deserved."
Mark my words.
"Give us Barrabas!"
Like Pilate, the courts and 80% of the public have washed their hands of Terri Schiavo's murder. But the stain of her blood remains on their hands.
Well, it has changed my mind on the death penalty. I was a staunch supporter of it, when I believed that there was a competent justice system to administer it.
Now, however, I find myself opposed. If this is how our court system works, there is no safeguards left to make sure there are no innocents put to death. It is all about process, not content. It is all about the legalities, with nothing left for justice.
