Justice?

The details of the crimes committed by two Iranian Kurdish journalists have as yet not been released. It has however, been confirmed by the Iranian government that they have been sentenced to death by hanging for being "Enemies of God". Would that be the ancient Arab moon god now known as "Allah"?
Meanwhile here in the "west" one American citizen has been arrested on felony charges for the commission of a "hate" crime by placing books in a commode. He should have applied for a grant from the National Endowment for the "Arts" in order to qualify his acts for display at the Guggenheim Museum in the same city whose "police" force has arrested him. After all if disrespected religious icons such as "Piss Christ" and the dung decorated images of Christian saints are objects of "art", why not Korans in the toilet?
Oh forgive me. Only one religion is "protected" from "offense".
In any event, this is one court case that should be interesting; especially should it reach the purview of Justice Kennedy as he seems to be concerned with foreign (sharia?) jurisprudence as it applies to the United States.

Why does it always seem to be the same politicians (Kennedy, Shumer et al) that consistently push gun control who also advocate "hate" crimes? Do they wish the U.S. to go the way of Sweden?

Lynch Mobs; One Win One loss

It is somewhat ironic that coinciding with the failure of one lynch mob to accomplish its objectives, the race pimps, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton should be successful in bringing down one of the so called "shock jock" darlings of the media for a tasteless characterization of the members of a women's college basket ball team.
ΛΕΟΝΙΔΑΣ has long found Mr. Imus to be less than entertaining notwithstanding being disgusted by has been coke heads wearing cowboy hats and badly in need of tonsorial services. The coup-de-grace administered on Mr Imus by the politically correct media at the behest of the race pimps Sharpton and Jackson, especially after nearly a week of his disgusting, groveling, auto-da-fe was a bit more than this humble spartan could stomach. As usual, Stephen at Dr. Horsefeathers beautifully juxtaposes this bit of theatre against the year long suffering if real victims in the Duke Lacrosse injustice.

[T]he most blatant racists are liberals who view everything under the aspect of black victimhood and white racism.
[A]s Imus falls all over himself apologizing over and over for his insulting words, who will apologize to the Duke Lacrosse players for the far worse trauma they endured than the Rutgers’ basketball players? Will Jackson and Sharpton apologize for endorsing the lying accusations of a black woman? Will Selena Roberts, the New York Times sports writer, cum sociologist, apologize for hurling around charges of racism, sexism, and white privilege, while suggesting that actual innocence would not purge the deep sickness of white racism made manifest by the Duke scandal? And how about the courageous Duke administration and faculty, who eagerly leapt—not to the defense of their own customers, the students—but to the defense of a lying accuser who proclaimed her black female victimhood? Will they apologize to the lacrosse coach they eagerly dumped overboard? Will the craven, politically correct President of Duke resign? Don’t hold your breath, because, you see, Liberals are not interested in the lives of actual real individuals—the young student athletes and their families, nor even the real life of the accuser. Instead these politically correct race hustlers and self-flatterers choose to lump individual human beings into pre-formed templates. They employ a “narrative” in place of factual truth, thanks to their ‘education’ as good PoMos. The narrative is about Amerika, a country poisoned by racism, sexism and capitalism. As the evidence against the lacrosse team emerged and collapsed in all its flimsiness, Roberts deplored the temptation to view the athletes as innocent; they were, after all, part of a larger system, college sports, sexist values, white racism, capitalism, etc. so even if the evidence supported the athletes’ story, that mattered less than that they were part of a racist, sexist culture. The accuser was also not seen as an individual, but rather a member of a victim class. That worked for Tawana Brawley and we expect the Reverends Sharpton and Jackson to continue working the strategy even after the case has been dismissed. Watch to see the various Liberal politicians condemn Don Imus while empathizing with the poor black woman who tried to destroy the lives of ‘white men of privilege’. Liberalism means never having to admit you're wrong because you're heart is with the oppressed.

Stephen's entire post is worthy of your perusal.

At least now we can get on with the really important issues like the eight federal attorneys now collecting unemployment benefits.

Going Going....

If Mr. Podhoretz of the New York Post is correct, the yearlong ordeal/farce of the 3 Duke University LaCrosse team members accused of multiple trumped up sexual assault charges will soon be ending.

March 23, 2007 -- IT seems that the trumped-up charges against three young men who played for the la crosse team at Duke University will be dismissed either today or sometime next week.

That will mostly end their ordeal, though they'll still have to deal with millions of dollars in legal fees (which, in the end, the city of Durham, N.C., will probably have to pick up).

The same can't be said of their false accuser - who is in a world of trouble, since you're not supposed to make false accusations to the authorities.

It will be interesting to follow the drama as it plays out and determine if justice will in fact prevail. It may well be that Mr. Nifong (pictured here), the prosecutor in the case will be disbarred by the North Carolina Bar association and forced to face charges of perjury. In addition, the President of Duke University will come under pressure to resign but as Mr. Podhoretz points out, the lynch mob consisting of a full 10% of the University faculty will skate free from any inconvenience.

Justice??

According to the latest development in the Duke university lacrosse players bogus rape case the prosecutor, Mr Nifong, has been granted his request to be relieved of prosecuting the 3 defendants and the state Attorney General's office will assume it. His statement, or rather that of his attorney, that "...he wants to make sure the accuser receives a fair trial." is rather bizarre.
Apparently I have been too long retired from my humble role in the so called "justice" system of investigating cases and presenting the evidence to the District Attorney for use against the accused in court. It is now the case that the defendants are not to receive a fair trial, but the victim. Not only that, but the District Attorneys are represented by legal counsel.
In the "good old days" evidence was presented to the office of the prosecutor and if sufficiently credible, he would proceed to prosecute the accused. If the evidence was lacking in sufficiency or credibility he would decline to proceed with the case.
Things seem to have changed, at least in North Carolina. If the "victim" is a member of a protected group i.e. racial minority, female, gay etc. then the victim must have a "fair" trial and evidence must be fabricated as well as exculpatory evidence for the "suspect" hidden. This is "justice" in century 21 US?
