Justice truly is blind....

At least when it comes to taking corporate criminals to task.

Punishment almost never fits the crime, not in this country at least.

A black kid caught with a crack pipe could spend years in jail while a white corporate type nabbed with a vial of coke in his suit jacket will probably face a fine and perhaps a little probation.

An inner city kid stealing a car is more likely to spend some serious time in the cling while a corporate entity despoiling thousands of miles of Gulf Coast shore-way effectively stealing the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people will likely get of with a fine...

I just can't see how we can continue to apply justice in such a willy nilly way.

Tough on crime?

You betcha, if you're a poor black kid or living in the worst of the worse neighborhoods...

Other than that, justice depends more on a different color and that color is Green....

I do not see that as what that means.

Justice should be equal, targeted justice leads to problems, or if arbitrary for other reason, but fair and applied the same way for everyone in society is what justice should be.

grease the wheels of justice, and that it is not being applied in any defination of fair we can come up with...

will spend TIME because of their color or where they live but becasue they don't have MONEY! With veryfew exceptions, if you have enough money, you can get away with a slap on the wrist at most.

Cleveland that is trying to prove that the kids in the inner city, mostly black and hispanic, are dealt with much more harshly when it comes to drugs than their white counterparts in the burbs....

I imagine it is that way in a whole lot of the bigger cities...

do with race...
