Rogue Community

I want to see some justice! I want to see it now! If I don’t see some justice, I’ll make my own somehow! Life would be such a sweet thing, if it wasn’t such a curse, for those who must suffer it and endure through the worst. For everyone who hungers, for everyone who thirsts, for everyone who’s injured, for everyone who’s hurt, For everyone who’s had their face forced down into the dirt… There’s no such thing as justice. There’s no handcuffs on the wrists of the privileged of society who do just what they wish without the fear their actions will ever be punished. While honest men of conscience must suffer underneath the consequences of their actions in anguished disbelief. For the system they petition to get themselves relief is the same one that is causing all their misery and grief. The law has become a loophole through which these criminals slip free and mock their victims raw with impunity from the bastions of their rogue community. I want to see some justice! I want to see it now! If I don’t see some justice I’ll make my own somehow!

Know what you mean--some folks seem to get away with everything. Making your own justice, not a good idea;) Great read, John. Thank you.

Thanks Joe...these people are ruthless and at some point you must exercise self defense against their relentless assault. They control the justice system and will never convict themselves.

You're right John. Establishing law and order does not imply the existence of justice. Writing is very good.
