Justice – The Burning Platform

He Murdered A Two-Year-Old, Then He Faced “Prison Justice” Inside The Walls

A common trope in popular culture is that if you commit crimes against the weak, particularly children, prison won’t be kind to you. There are many in there who committed all manner of horrific crimes but who, whether because of life experience or their own sense of justice, don’t take kindly to those who abuse children.

In fact, “don’t take kindly” is quite an understatement. When it comes to those who, like the ones who many say were given a slap on the wrist by Kentanji Jackson, commit crimes involving child pornography or abusing kids, “prison justice” (or injustice, depending on your take) can be swift and severe. As ABC reported, saying:

Prison can be a menacing place for child molesters like the former Roman Catholic priest John Geoghan, who was killed in his cell Saturday — or for other alleged pedophile priests working their way through the criminal justice system.

“If you take out a sex offender like this former priest in Massachusetts, maybe the person who took him out thought he’d make a name of himself,” said Margot Bach, a spokeswoman for California Department of Corrections. “Taking [a pedophile] out would gain [the killer] a lot more respect among the other inmates.”

[…]”Once their crime has become known, they usually don’t make it” without protective custody, said Lt. Ken Lewis, a corrections officer and spokesman at California’s Los Angeles County State Prison.

Such was the case with 24-year-old convicted murderer Semajs Short, who was imprisoned for murdering a toddler. The North Carolina Department of Public Safety published a press release on the subject, saying:

Offender Semajs Short (#1539014), 24, was attacked in a housing area at the prison by a number of other offenders at 2:14 p.m. today.Three other offenders were injured during the group assault and were taken to an outside medical facility for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.The Windsor Police Department and the State Bureau of Investigation are investigating the incident. The Department of Public Safety is fully cooperating in the investigation and will seek criminal prosecution against any offender involved in the altercation.While the prison officials will interview those involved and try to find out who all was responsible, doing so might be hard. As was the case with another killing of child molesters, those involved in doing the killing can be already serving life sentences, which makes punishing them for killing the kiddie killers difficult. Furthermore, prisoners don’t want to be known as “rats,” and so are unlikely to be willing to say what they say, if anything.

Given the nature of Short’s crime, it’s unlikely that many within the prison population will come to his defense. As CBS reported on his crimes:Short pled guilty to second-degree murder of a 2-year-old girl in 2017, according to reports. He was 17 years old at the time of the murder. He was serving a 31-year sentence and was scheduled to be released in May 2042, DPS said.Short has more than two dozen infractions on his DPS record, including gang involvement, lock tampering, and fighting with weapons.

Killing a two-year-old? Frankly, it’s surprising that he made it as long as he did: “prison justice” tends to be swift and severe, as the ABC article noted, particularly for those who commit crimes involving children.

Must Watch Video – “The Veneer of Justice in a Kingdom of Crime”

Submitted by Michael Krieger of Liberty Blitzkgrieg

All government, in its essence, is a conspiracy against the superior man: its one permanent object is to oppress him and cripple him…The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is very apt to spread discontent among those who are.

– H.L. Mencken

It does not take a majority to prevail but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.

– Samuel Adams

Fiat justitia ruat caelum
“Let justice be done though the heavens fall.”

I believe it is the duty of every single American citizen to sit down and watch the following mini-documentary. In just 45 minutes, you will learn more about the state of the union and the the world around you than decades of schooling and mainstream media could ever provide. Ignorance is not bliss, and if it weren’t for the blinding levels of ignorance pervasive in modern society, we wouldn’t find ourselves in this current deplorable state we’re in — on a knife’s edge between manageable serfdom and total tyranny.

No one in American society is supposed to be immune from criminal prosecution, yet the Justice Department in the Obama administration took it upon themselves to grant such immunity to the mega banks and their employees. This is a tale of the traitors operating within the highest levels of the U.S. government, and it is a saga of how the rule of law was openly torched in front of our very eyes.

Readers often ask me “what can I do to help.” Here’s what you can do. You can watch this video, then send it to every single person you know and plead with them to watch it. If necessary, make it a point to to sit with them and watch it. That’s how important this is.

Until justice is served, this nation will never heal. Economically, culturally or spiritually.

Now without further ado.

JUSTICE IN AMURIKA

WALL STREET JUSTICE IN THE SURVEILLANCE STATES OF AMERICA

Cecily McMillan was sentenced yesterday to 90 days in prison for assaulting a police officer who was trying to clear Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan, where Occupy Wall Street protesters had gathered. McMillan, 25, denied the second-degree assault charge.

Thank God for our justice system. Look at that face. She is truly a dangerous criminal and a menace to society. I can’t believe they only locked her up for 3 months. Exercising your First Amendment rights in a public park is a dangerous example of freedom. We can’t stand for this. She is clearly a violent thug. The NYPD police officer that was manhandling her was most certainly in danger. Look at those lethal elbows that inadvertently hit one of Bloomberg’s security state thugs in the face. I understand they were considering a firing squad from the NYPD, but they couldn’t find 10 of these bozo thugs who could shoot straight.

We are now in the sixth year since the criminal CEOs and executives of the biggest Wall Street banks committed the largest financial fraud in human history and not one of these fuckers has been prosecuted, let alone sentenced to jail. Dimon has used shareholder money to pay tens of billions in fines as their payoff to their fellow government cronies without admitting they did anything wrong. These motherfuckers created the fraudulent mortgage products that blew up the worldwide financial system. They reaped hundreds of billions in dirty profits and the judicial system bought off by Wall Street is still throwing young protestors in jail. The police thugs brutalized and bloodied hundreds of protestors during the Occupy protests. None of them went to jail because the establishment is not here to protect the rights of citizens. They will protect the rights of the oligarchs to fuck you over.

KNOW YOUR ENEMY

She fought Wall Street, and now she’s off to jail

Opinion: Unlike CEOs, this ‘Occupy’ protestor couldn’t avoid prosecution

By David Weidner, MarketWatch

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — The last few days have been a busy one for the Wall Street crime blotter. But as you review the following cases, you might find the scales of justice are more than just a little off-kilter.

Credit Suisse (NYSE:CS) Chief Executive Officer Brady Dougan will keep his job — one that paid him $9 million last year after a 26% raise— even thought the bank will pay a $2.6 billion settlement and plead guilty to criminal charges for helping its U.S. clients evade taxes.

SAC Capital Advisors LLC founder Steven A. Cohen spent the weekend free as a bird, perhaps counting the sum of what had been years of an annual compensation package of $1 billion. He did so after another one of his lieutenants, Michael Steinberg, was sentenced Friday to 3 1/2 years in prison for his role in a firm-wide insider-trading scheme.

Steinberg was the latest in a string of former SAC traders and managers who have been ratting out one another and receiving prison sentences.

And after walking around Italy for a few months, former Societe Generale trader Jérôme Kerviel surrendered to police Sunday . He will spend three years in prison for making unauthorized trades at the bank that led to more than $8 billion in losses. At least, that’s if you believe he wasn’t making the trades with tacit approval from his bosses or negligence on their part.

Lest you think these cases suggest that it’s just the small fish who meet the hook of justice, consider the 90-day jail term just handed out to Cecily McMillan for second-degree assault.

McMillan is the last Occupy Wall Street protestor to be sentenced for her role in the 2010 and 2011 protests in New York that were ultimately swept away by a city police raid ordered by then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

McMillan, now a 25-year-old graduate student, was in Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan on March 17, 2012, celebrating the six-month anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, which was evicted from the park in November 2011. The police were ordered to clear the park. Scuffles ensued. Chaos. An officer claims McMillian elbowed him in the face. McMillan said someone grabbed her breast.

There is a grainy video of the elbowing that was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal reporter covering the case. It “doesn’t definitively show if it was intentional or not,” the Journal reported . During the trial, McMillan’s lawyers were barred from cross-examining the officer.

Her case received unusual attention. There were protests at the courthouse. After her conviction May 5, city council members called for leniency in her sentencing. Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez was also arrested at Zuccotti Park. His charges were dismissed.

Jail time for McMillan, he said, would send “a message that if you join a protest, if you defend your rights, you will be charged with assaulting a police officer.”

That’s one message. Another possible one: better to be at the top of a multi-billion-dollar institution that helps people hide from the Internal Revenue Service or disguises ill-gotten gains or takes no responsibility for the conduct of its employees.

The list doesn’t end with SAC Capital and Credit Suisse. Since the financial crisis, companies including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:GS) , J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) , Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:BAC) and Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C) all have been investigated for fraud perpetrated on customers and investors — including taxpayers. In most cases they’ve settled without admitting wrongdoing or copping to criminal charges.

That last part about criminal charges has changed recently after U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder came under fire a year ago when he testified that “the size of some of these institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them when we are hit with indications that if you do prosecute, if you do bring a criminal charge, it will have a negative impact on the national economy, perhaps even the world economy.”

Many observers took his statement as a concession that some banks were “too big to jail.”

Holder is trying to walk his statement back . “No company, no matter how large or how profitable, is above the law,” he said in a video posted on the Justice Department website early this month.

Individuals aren’t exempt either, it appears, as long as they are low ranking and don’t have the political and financial means to put up a fight.

Cecily McMillan, on the other hand, doesn’t pose a threat to anyone except maybe a police officer who may or may have not been too aggressive or in the wrong place at the wrong time. Not many seem to be questioning if city officials had the authority to break up a peaceable assembly as guaranteed under the Bill of Rights.

This isn’t to excuse McMillan’s elbow or any injury it may have caused. But if a peaceful protestor who if forcibly evicted from a protest can get jail time and a permanent criminal record, why can’t the leaders of firms accused of or admitted to chronic insider trading, tax-evasion schemes or mortgage-securities fraud get their 90 days in lockup?

A woman gives an officer a black eye, but a justice system where money and influence rob us of inequality is life- — and liberty- — threatening.
