  1. Safe for who?

    The MIC?

    Now granted Obama deserves credit for brokering a deal with Iran that will lift sanctions and bring the 80+ million Iranians in from the cold.

    Is that what you are referring to?

    This article is so fucked up. Talks about how there is no standard for when a person can call for a retrial even when new evidence comes to light. Basically this guy in Georgia was convicted of a rape because he had these gloves, given to him by his friend, that were used in the rape. The man was convicted and they never tested the gloves for DNA. Now several years later the glove was tested for DNA and found to have the DNA of only his friend on it implying that he wasn't the one who wore the gloves or the one who committed the rape. Unfortunately, Gerorgia has this fucked up law where you can't have a new trial over new evidence, if that new evidence could have reasonably been discovered in the first trial. So basically Georgia knows that the man is innocent, but won't give him a new trial because of the incompetency of a lawyer. In the end, it doesn't matter what the evidence indicates but how good of a lawyer you have. Got to love the "justice" system we have in America.

  4. Restorative justice. Some pretty good ideas in it.
     
  5. the 'just us' system was conceived by a bunch of slave owning elitist wealthy white guys that were the leaders of an uprising to take control of part of the british kingdom...(ya, the USA)...not much has changed since. [​IMG]
     
  6. The BLM just came out with about a dozen or so police force reformations which actually make a good deal of sense, which is kinda interesting since the BLM seemed to be creating a very bad public perception about itself over the recent weeks.
