I really do think there are some crazy, anti-cop types out there, but I am also deeply concerned with very real police abuse. <br /><br />This article does more than cover the story of a criminal like Hunter, it provides a very good thought experiment as to what we can do to reform our criminal justice system: focus on the harm done to the individual rather than "society."<br /><br /><br />I hope we can seriously work towards serious reform of our law-enforcement. <br /><br />Thanks, Will!MisesMathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03070675924349359934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-2558635125892779522015-10-22T21:50:27.530-06:002015-10-22T21:50:27.530-06:00I've always been puzzled at how the State in i...I've always been puzzled at how the State in its fevered thinking, and that's being generous, would fine someone some ridiculous amount of.money.and then lock them up at great expense in order that said individual is now in capable of paying anyone anything!

I suspect that you do. If not, it's a tragic coincidence that you share his insuperable handicap with respect to reading comprehension, or perhaps his lamentably brief attention span.<br /><br /><i>There is a reason why nobody pays any attention to articles like this but I doubt the writer will ever figure it out.</i><br /><br />You certainly paid what little attention you could afford to the piece, even though you couldn't trouble yourself to read it -- or, more likely, have it read to you. <br /><br />To spare you the unfamiliar agony of actually reading and following an argument before opining on its merits, I'll summarize what I wrote:<br /><br />The hideous crime committed by the depraved, feral, despicable being named Ibn Hunter underscores the utter failure of the government's "justice" system in deterring such acts, or providing restitution to victims of the same. This is because the system is structured to profit from violent crime, and to ignore the victims thereof.<br /><br />Not being a cultural Marxist, I reject entirely the pernicious concept of "hate crimes," which exacerbate the problem I describe above by treating "justice" in collectivist terms. <br /><br />William N.

What this kid did was a hate crime but nobody will call it for what it is because<br />A) the perpetrator was not white enough<br />B) the victim was a woman and apparently it's not hateful enough for a helpless woman to be knocked out for minding her business.<br /><br />There is a reason why nobody pays any attention to articles like this but I doubt the writer will ever figure it out.<br /><br />Maybe if BLM actually did something besides pumping the "kill all whiteys" mentality into the youth this crap wouldn't happen. BLM had a chance to be heard and actually help promote change in black society and change in white peoples mentality but they fucked it up by encouraging even more racism and they set black people back decades in the process. Great Job! Now white people and black people hate each other more than ever and nobody listens even when the wolf comes.

(yes it was a hate crime because he stated he did that because she was a "bitch" and it most likely was racially motivated since BLM has every black youth in America thinking "kill whitey".) It is disgusting that somebody would find a way to excuse this kids actions and find a way to blame it on the "white man". People who write this bullshit are fanning the flames to this race war crap we have going on the US and they are only setting black people back by decades. There is a reason why nobody is even commenting on this crap anymore but I doubt the writer of this piece will ever figure it out.Unknownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01008596311484100655noreply@blogger.com
