Corruption And Loopholes In The American Justice System Empowering Criminals To Further Victimize Victims (Brock Turner)

Criminals Arrogantly Fighting Victims In Court

There Is A Serious Problem With The U.S. Justice System When The Government Starts Treating Victims Like Criminals And Criminals Like Victims 


Brock Turner
 
The justice system is supposed to be fair and equitable. However, the Brock Turner rape case has revealed it is anything but that, confirming what the Judiciary Report has been stating for years about the U.S. justice system. Judge Aaron Persky, an alumni of Stanford University, gave one of its current students, Brock Turner, 6-months in jail, as opposed to the required 6-years in prison for a vicious 3-count rape that left a victim with terrible emotional, mental and physical damage. 

The case has sparked outrage in America, as millions of citizens demand Persky be removed. Persky is the most hated judge in America and considering all the corruption currently in the justice system, that is no small feat. The case needs to be revisited/reopened, as in cases where it is discovered a judge, prosecutor, FBI or police acted illegally or improperly against a party in the case. 

A segment of the victim's statement on the Turner rape, once again unmasks the corruption in the justice system and how criminals are using loopholes and other disgraceful tactics to get out of the consequences of their crimes. The victim stated, "I thought there’s no way this is going to trial; there were witnesses, there was dirt in my body, he ran but was caught. He’s going to settle, formally apologize, and we will both move on. Instead, I was told he hired a powerful attorney, expert witnesses, private investigators who were going to try and find details about my personal life to use against me, find loopholes in my story to invalidate me and my sister, in order to show that this sexual assault was in fact a misunderstanding."

Lawyers are engaging in criminal behavior with judges in a number of cases, such as issuing cash or stock bribes to derail cases on behalf of their lawbreaking clients. Where cases appear open and shut, due to the seriousness of the crimes and evidence present, they are not airtight in the current corrupt atmosphere in the U.S. justice system. Even the Supreme Court is taking bribes "The Associated Press Accuses U.S. Supreme Court Judges Of Taking Stocks As Bribes And They're Right." It's not a good look. The America and world are watching the corruption in the U.S. justice system with contempt and disgust. 

Even websites like TMZ brag about celebrities and the rich questionably squirming out of the consequences of criminal behavior and corruptly getting valid cases against them tossed. It's not something to brag about. It is disgraceful what they are doing, as it is painting a terrible picture in the eyes of the nation and the world of how corrupt and buyable the U.S. justice system has become. It's a black eye.

The U.S. justice system needs to be cleaned up lest it takes the whole country down over the misconduct of rich criminals, who aren't even 2% of the population and could not survive without the rest of America. After all, without the middle class and lower income people, who would work for and buy the products of America's wealthiest 2 percent. 

The wealthiest 2 percent ripping off, defrauding and abusing the middle class and the poor in America is not in the nation's best interest, as it is morally wrong, cruel and destroying the backbone of the country. America never used to be like this. However, over the past 15-years, as the phrase goes, "The inmates have been running the asylum." Highly questionably people have been installed in the government and justice system to America's detriment. It used to be the cream rises to the top. However, with all the corruption, bribery and nepotism, the crap has risen to the top and no society in world history has sustained itself under those conditions and did not catastrophically fall (for further reference, see the fall of Rome).

I read world news articles, medical and science journals and legal documents 6-days a week. I can state without fear of contradiction, the U.S. justice system has become the most corrupt in the world. The stories of corruption coming out of justice system and government in America are the most severe and astonishing in the world. It's gone too far.

The government needs to clean up the corruption. You are destroying America. There's a crude reference online that the wealthy in America engaging in egregious abuses against the middle class and the poor need to think about as they recklessly destroy the nation's future, "Don't s**t where you eat."

Here Is The Powerful Letter The Stanford Victim Read Aloud To Her Attacker 

Jun. 3, 2016, at 4:17 p.m. - A former Stanford swimmer who sexually assaulted an unconscious woman was sentenced to six months in jail because a longer sentence would have “a severe impact on him,” according to a judge. At his sentencing Thursday, his victim read him a letter describing the “severe impact” the assault had on her.

I thought there’s no way this is going to trial; there were witnesses, there was dirt in my body, he ran but was caught. He’s going to settle, formally apologize, and we will both move on. Instead, I was told he hired a powerful attorney, expert witnesses, private investigators who were going to try and find details about my personal life to use against me, find loopholes in my story to invalidate me and my sister, in order to show that this sexual assault was in fact a misunderstanding. That he was going to go to any length to convince the world he had simply been confused.

I was not only told that I was assaulted, I was told that because I couldn’t remember, I technically could not prove it was unwanted. And that distorted me, damaged me, almost broke me. It is the saddest type of confusion to be told I was assaulted and nearly raped, blatantly out in the open, but we don’t know if it counts as assault yet. I had to fight for an entire year to make it clear that there was something wrong with this situation.

Blame The Victim?


12-year-old Tamir Rice

Why do some in society choose to blame victims of crime for the heinous acts committed against them by others. Shouldn't it be blame the criminals, as no one has any justification for violating the rights of others. This pattern of blame the victim happens in lesser known incidents of crime, but as examples, I will invoke famous criminal cases to illustrate my point.

When 17-year-old Miami boy, Trayvon Martin, was stalked, confronted and gunned down by violent neighborhood watchman, George Zimmerman, a man with a history of criminal behavior, who was acting outside the law again, some had the unmitigated gall to get on the internet and type garbage about a deceased teen that was minding his business.

The defense in the criminal case was no better, digging out stories about an underage murder victim's past, such as the fact he had occasionally smoked weed. By that insane reasoning, all marijuana smokers around the world deserve to be stalked, confronted and murdered in cold blood for walking on the street. Show of hands, how many of you have smoked weed, heads of state included (we know who you are anyway) think marijuana smokers deserve to be stalked, confronted and killed as Martin was by Zimmerman? You'd be a savage and barbarian if you thought that is okay. So why did some try to irrationally reason that it was okay, putting forward invalid and inhumane reasons in trying to justify the unjustifiable. If that is your mind's way of trying to make sense of something heinous, you need to change your way of thinking.

At the end of the day, what happened to Martin could have happened to anyone in that situation. Martin was not the problem. Deranged, psychotic Zimmerman stalking and confronting a person in violation of neighborhood watch and police rules, then resorting to violence via a gun, was the problem. Honestly, think about it, what would you have done if you were Martin and you were stalked, confronted and attacked by a stranger in plain clothes questioning why you were walking on the street rudely stating, "What are you doing around here?" (which was none of Zimmerman's business)? Your first thought would be the person is crazy and looking for a fight or going to rob you. 

In the case of Tamir Rice, the 12-year-old who was shot and killed by failed, formerly fired cop, Timothy Loehmann, some chose to blame an underage minor for walking around with a toy gun in a state that allows people to openly brandish weapons in public places. Some stated online that the gun looked real and tried to justify the preventable shooting death under that false premise. However, Loehmann and his partner Garmback are to blame for driving right up to an alleged suspect with an item they were told could be a fake gun and opening fire within seconds. Why didn't they maintain a safe distance. They drove up a few feet from the child.


Trayvon Martin 

In rape cases, some blame women for dressing provocatively, inexcusably stating they were asking to be raped dressing in that manner. Let me ask you a question, when you are in the supermarket and the food looks appetizing, as it is supposed to be for attractiveness, do you not know it is unlawful to open the packages and start consuming the food.

When you go to a jewelry store, do you not know it is illegal to smash the glass, grab the pretty, shiny jewelry, stealing something that does not belong to you. When you are in an electronics store and you see a nice, shiny item you would love to have, do you not know it is illegal to grab said item and do whatever you feel like with it in stealing it. Therefore, how can anyone attempt to justify raping someone based on how they are dressed (or even citing the victim was drunk or high, so it is their fault). Furthermore, women in loose clothing, covered up from the neck down and sober have been raped as well. Therefore, there is no valid argument regarding dress code or inebriation.

Often in cases where celebrities are accused of crimes against others, some try to rationalize and explain away bad behavior regarding conduct that is wholly wrong. So caught up in idolatry, they blame and verbally attack the victims, rather than objectively looking at the facts in their faces. Some stars encourage this behavior in their fans, who end up with egg on their faces for believing them and mindlessly verbally abusing others on their behalf.

They begin vouching for famous people they don't even know and verbally attack and insult strangers on social networking and in some cases even their own co-workers, family and friends, whom they do actually know that do not believe the star in question is blameless in the matter. Then the truth comes out after all the public denials and lies by the star that said celebrity was in fact guilty of the misconduct they'd been accused of. Be careful swearing and vouching for people you don't know. You could end up embarrassed or in trouble over something you've written.

Lance Armstrong, among others, comes to mind. He viciously attacked his critics, who stated he was using steroids to win races, called them liars, filed lawsuits against them (knowing he was guilty) opened them up to public ridicule and hate, with his fans following his terrible example and verbally abusing and threatening his accusers. Then what happened? The truth came out that he was using steroids for years and engaging in practices to evade detection. He was investigated, stripped of his medals and banned from cycling for years. However, he and his fans had inflicted damage on innocent people who told the truth about his dishonesty and cheating and the damage was done in that regard.

The majority of society knows right from wrong. If people would learn to respect the rights of others and exercise due caution in unsure situations, most crimes and acts of abuse would not occur. However, when people decide they are going to do something they know is wrong, giving in to bad impulses, innocent people end up defrauded, abused, harmed or even killed.

Blaming the victim is cruel and inhumane, as it is the act of victimizing victims all over again. You are essentially inflicting damage on someone that has already been wrongly damaged by others. It's not a good or decent thing to do. It speaks to a lack of humanity in some. If the shoe were on the other foot, the same people irrationally and cruelly blaming the victim, would want to be believed, treated humanely, fairly and given justice. As the phrase goes, "Do unto others as you'd have done to you."

14 Dead And 17 Wounded In Shooting By 3 Jihadis At A California Disability Center


Syed Farook

14 were killed and 17 wounded by 3 masked shooters in a vicious shooting at the Inland Regional Center, located in San Bernardino, California, during their annual Christmas party. The 44-year-old non-profit organization provides support and assistance to 35,000 disabled people in the area. 10 of the 17 people wounded in the incident are listed in "critical condition" at local hospitals. The shooters wore combat style clothing and used automatic weapons.

 

Hours before the shooters were identified, ISIS began celebrating the shooting using the Twitter hashtag #America_Burning. This coupled with the religion of the shooters leads many to believe the incident is a terrorist attack. One of the shooters has been identified as Syed Farook, a married man with children, who is an environmental inspector and American citizen, who worked for the state of California. Farook is being described as a devout Muslim.


Another of the shooters has been identified as Farook's brother. A third shooter was described on police scanners as an "Arabic woman." Two of the three suspects, one of them the woman, has been killed in a shoot out with police, as the left Farook's house in Redlands, California. A police officer was wounded during the battle. The police did a quick and thorough job in identifying, finding and cornering the shooters, who tried to flee in a black SUV.

Should Jared Fogle's Wife Get To Keep The $7,000,000 He Gave Her Or Should It Go To His Underage Victims He Sexually Abused And Violated


Jared Fogle

This week, during the sentencing of former Subway fast food chain spokesman, Jared Fogle, who was convicted of having sex with minors and possession of child porn, it was revealed he gave his wife $7,000,000. As Fogle apologized to his victims and family, Judge Tanya Walton Pratt, interrupted regarding his wife and stated, "You gave your wife $7 million, so she’ll be OK."

The question is, should Fogle's wife be allowed to keep the $7,000,000. While she was not blamed for or convicted of anything in the case, it is fitting the bulk of his multi-million dollar estate, go to the many underage girls and boys he molested, sexually violating them in cruel acts that should never have occurred. Under the circumstances, it is the right thing to do.

Here's hoping with the court's permission, lawyers will address the matter and sue on behalf of the underage victims to at least bring them financial compensation after the terrible ordeal they were put through. Some of the underage girls and boys were victims of forced prostitution, while others were abused without their parents knowledge or consent.
