Is justice absolute? Justice in itself isn’t always just; it’s just a lid put on issues so we can close it‚ seal it off and chuck it away: we can ‘move on’.

11/11/12 Rough Draft The trouble with the laws these days is that criminals know their rights better than their wrongs. ~Author Unknown. I truly believe in this quote. Criminals know when they do something wrong they will get out of it with a plea bargain or they might not even step foot in the court room because someone else is already getting prosecuted for it.
