Grappler,
Your post seems to reflect anger and frustration.
And i am not criticising that.
.
And it seems to me, that a small cohort of individuals [criminals],
seem to traverse our 'Justice System',
again, and again, and again.
[e.g. after some particularly serious crime,
we often hear......
"the person in custody 'is known to police' "]
Something, is wrong. !!
Someone ['in authority', within our 'Justice System'/WITHIN GOVERNMENT], is making a 'particular' mistake,
....
again, and again, and again, and again, and again.
And too many peaceable, law abiding citizens
are becoming the victims of crime,
.....when they should not ['in justice'] be, being subjected to that 'experience'.
.
We are the sovereign people
....in whom [within a formal Democracy] all political authority resides.
[....we, the people, are the 'masters' of our fates, ....not our political representatives.]
Our governments, supposedly, are there [are instituted], to formulate policies
to benefit, the people, in whom ALL political authority resides.
Maybe 'WE THE PEOPLE', should become more active and involved,
in 'the finer processes of our government' ?
Maybe 'WE THE PEOPLE', should be demanding, and agitating for,
ROOT AND BRANCH REFORM [seeking
accountability],
in 'the finer processes of our government' ?
