13. Justice should not 'take time'.

Thu Jan 6, 2022, 08:49 AM

Jan 2022

There is no metaphysical energy keeping the DOJ from at least putting some of the instigators in jail. Not the grunts, they are being dealt with, if very gently. I mean those who stood on that platform demanding action. Those sitting members of Congress who actively participated in this attempt. But, here we sit while they continue to do what they want. I am betting that 'being patient' and 'justice takes time' was never an issue with most Americans when 'justice' decided to go after them. If my non-rich ass committed a crime anywhere near the severity of what happened on Jan.6th of last year, I am pretty certain that I would not be treated with such kid gloves. Why delay now? Justice delayed is justice denied. But, we shall see... won't we?
