The Dilemma of a Democracy

The concept of justice is a cornerstone of a democracy.

Whenever justice cannot be done for fear of creating division and violence, then democracy is threatened. In my opinion, this is where America is today.

Perhaps the Justice Department is only starting at the bottom and working up?

But it is as plain as the nose on your face that our Capitol was attacked on January 6th and lives were lost. It is obvious that the elected officials of our democracy were threatened.

Also, it is plain as day that the mob that attacked our Capitol was incited to do so and were put in the place and time to make it happen. It was sedition.

It was an insurrection incited by the highest level of our elected government.

Justice would require that someone answer to the charges. At the very least, they should be asked to explain their role in the insurrection.

But, for some reason, there is no action from our Justice Department? As if there is not enough to charge certain individuals with incitement of an insurrection? Because justice delayed is justice denied.

Why?

That is the dilemma.
