Economic Meltdown (seconda parte)

[kandrathe]

If arbitrary justice makes everyone a criminal, then anecdotes ("anecdata") make every proposition a truth. There is plenty of abuse of power on the part of the government, but a handful of exceptional cases that make the news indicates nothing more than the trivial "Noteworthy events will be noted."

Granted, but these are not all that exceptional. Google "Arrested Sidewalk Chalk". I'm afraid that like an iceberg, the only unjust arrests we get to glimpse are the few that poke into the 24 hour news cycle. The injustice in the system only begins in the arbitrariness of arrest, it extends into the arbitrariness of investigation, prosecution and conviction. You see the real injustice applied when you begin to analyze the racial and socioeconomic demographics. I don't believe we want a system where when the State is against you, you invariably end up incarcerated.
