Mockery of justice

Wed., Dec. 2, 2009

The Spokesman-Review

State troopers aren’t dumb. College requires work. They sent away to purchase “diplomas,” and they were only inadvertently stopped when the phony diploma mill was busted. The owners went to prison. The troopers got paid leave for a year. How would you like a year’s paid vacation for questionable behavior? You, the taxpayers, funded theirs.

Their superiors agreed that all of them could have been innocently deceived by the diploma mill. This is like the coyotes investigating other coyotes for their hen-house activities.

The “justice” received by those hired by us to preserve justice is a mockery of justice. It is a type of justice unavailable to you and me.
