the curse of justice …. lack of

I honestly wish I had the ability to use words to convey in a better way, things that bother me in a major way.  My tendency is to feel and not think and lose my temper.  Or else become so muddled I don’t even understand myself.  And that about covers what I saw this morning.

I’m not even supposed to be sitting here, I was told I had to keep feet elevated for a day or two, do not exert, yadda,yadda, blah.
Well, that ain’t gonna happen.  An extra pain killer and I’ll get thru the day but I have to share this.

Why do people have a problem with the idea of revenge and the law?  Why can’t justice, depending on the offense, incorporate a healthy dose of revenge?

This originally started btw, with a post that Drew did a couple of days ago. A post in which he had:

But ... horry clap ... the way them savage English go at each other with the cutlery!

Man ‘stabbed passer-by to death after having bath-time disturbed’

Man stabs 17-year-old for giving him ‘dodgy looks’

Birmingham woman stabbed by friend in row over ring, murder trial told

Police hunting teenage boy after stabbing outside Barkingside Magistrates’ Court

So I thought, ok.  I have to add something of a non violent nature, but something that shows just how some interpret “justice.”
I’ve since lost the article which doesn’t matter.  The story concerned a burglar with at least 70 previous burglaries.
Because he said he was “sorry” his jail term was cut in half.  Well heck, nothing new in that and we now expect that kind of thing from what laughingly is referred to as the ‘justice’ system.  Which of course it is not and has not been for a long time.  People here and I suspect the USA as well, have little regard or respect for courts, judges and lawyers in general. Most civilians are I believe, left cold by the term criminal justice system. I also think it may be worse here than in the USA.  And for good reason.  Here is a perfect example of what I’m talking about.  Justice?  Uh huh. In a pig’s ass.  Just where is that to be found in this case?
Crime will never be eliminated, I’m not silly enough to believe that.  But since that is the case, then the penalties administered should damn well fit the crimes committed, and never mind the bleeding heart liberals who confuse justice and revenge and opt for ‘humane’ treatment of scum like the one in the following article.

Take a look and take in the miscarriage in this one.  And oh by the way, here’s what the defense had to say.  Look at the photos and tell me that effing lawyer shouldn’t suffer the same.

Moses Tawo, defending Hayden, said: ‘His way of explanation is his alcohol abuse. It isn’t domestic violence, it is a random assault. He would come back from prison full of problems and there would be a vicious circle.’

Any parent and especially parents of girls who do not bring them up trained in self defense to the point of using weapons and deadly force in today’s world, is doing them an injustice.

Drunken thug who battered girlfriend in the street making her face ‘explode like an airbag’ walks away with community service despite the fact he was on PROBATION

· Magistrate said NOT sending him to jail would be the tougher option

· Toby Hayden was serving suspended sentence for previous offence

· Also assaulted two police officers and had to pay them both compensation

By Claire Ellicott

A thug who attacked his girlfriend in the street has walked free from court after magistrates told him a community sentence is ‘tougher’ than prison.

Toby Hayden, 27, hit his partner of two years in a drunken rage when a cash machine told him he had insufficient funds to withdraw money.

He repeatedly punched Loretta Butterworth, 22, in an assault that ended only when passers-by heard her screaming ‘please help me’.

When police arrived to arrest Hayden, he spat in the face of one officer and tried to gouge out the eyes of another.

She said she looked ‘like a zombie’ after the attack and still has the outline of a footprint on her forehead.
She added: ‘When I found out that he had walked free my heart sank. I was shocked and angry.
‘He definitely should have gone to prison. He had previous convictions, he had been violent to people before, he was on probation when it happened.
‘He resisted arrest, assaulted two police officers, caused criminal damage and that doesn’t even cover what he did to me.
‘He punched me repeatedly, he didn’t stop – but that wasn’t enough for him so he kicked me in the back of the head as I lay on the floor unable to defend myself.’
Moses Tawo, defending Hayden, said: ‘His way of explanation is his alcohol abuse. It isn’t domestic violence, it is a random assault. He would come back from prison full of problems and there would be a vicious circle.’

Despite being on a suspended sentence for a previous violent crime, magistrates sentenced him to an 18-month community order with 200 hours of unpaid work and ordered him to complete an anger management course.

Think that’s all there is to this story?
Take another look.
At this.

The victim says that the case should have gone to Crown Court.

Magistrates are three people who aren’t legally trained.

‘At least if it had gone to Crown Court he would have been before a properly educated judge and the full story would have come out.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
