BREAKING - DC Judge Kendra Briggs has allowed the two “teens” who jumped Edward ‘Big Balls’ Coristine to avoid jail and sentenced them to simple probation, stating her job is to “rehabilitate,” not punish.
“But suppose the ox had a reputation for goring, and the owner had been informed but failed to keep it under control. If the ox then kills someone, it must be stoned, and the owner must also be put to death.” - Exodus 21:29 NLT
It is not enough to point solely to the offender. While they must be held accountable for their actions, those who had the authority and the duty to prevent foreseeable harm cannot be absolved. Judges, parole boards, prosecutors, and policymakers who knowingly permit the release of habitual violent offenders must also bear the weight of their decisions, especially when those decisions result in tragedy.
Each act of violence committed by a known repeat offender does not happen in a vacuum. It follows a series of deliberate choices: to grant parole, to reduce sentences, to dismiss charges, or to overlook warning signs in the name of leniency, political pressure, or flawed ideologies. These choices are not without consequence. They are direct contributors to the circumstances that allow violence to be repeated.
Justice demands more than punishment. It demands accountability at every level. To ignore this truth is to devalue the lives of victims, and to accept a system where the gatekeepers of justice bear no burden for the outcomes of their decisions.
Those who hold the keys to freedom must also hold the weight of its consequences. Anything less is a betrayal of public trust and a sentence carried out on the innocent.

I guess we have to wait until
ReplyDeleteThey kill somebody before we can throw their asses in jail for good? When that happens the judge needs to go to jail as well for giving leniency thus creating opportunity and therefore aiding and abetting.
