obama will be forced to let lawyers and criminals victimize the poor
The most extreme group feeding on the weakness of the judicial system to attack the poor and helpless are the lawyer lobbies and their constituents. These people will force Obama to make compromises on his pledge to help the poor and bring change they can belleve in. Let us see how this will be done.
The poor live in residential areas that have higher than normal amounts of drug dealing and other crime inducing activities. Hand wringing liberals scream that the criminal is a victim of the environment and put pressure on local crime prevention to overlook the repeated actions of many criminals. They say the crime is not serious enough to warrant consideration when there are other major things to be concerned about. The lack of government help efforts and protection of individual rights during accusation proceedings is more important than the blood drenched victim.. There is also the weird philosophical view that the criminal is really a greater victim than the actual victim of the crime.
We can see that in operation with the bail bonding proceedures and sympathetic judges. They create a revolving door and early release for the criminal.This leads to a repeat of the crime with other victims or terrorizing the previous victim with threats against testifying. Some states even restrict the number of charges that can be placed against a criminal during his/her rampage. It might look bad to a jury. Also, with the proper organizing and spacing of appeals to the various court levels, it may take years before justice is enacted.
The group receiving the most benefit from the present system is not the poor or helpless but the well paid lawyer elite for the criminal element. The money is provided by tax payers at a high fixed rate and continues through all the years of appeals. Is changing this something the criminal element can believe in? Is this something they will let Obama change to help the poor?
More later and only for those with strong stomachs. It involves self serving lawyers, university professors and politicians piously babbling deluded sentiments.
