Those who speak out against a judicial system that cannot or will not use the word justice are shouted down by defense lawyers and action groups who are very successful at forgetting, and with convincing dialog, play down the cruelty inflicted on the victim, and in many cases, suggest the victim may have contributed to their own demise.
If a prostitute is raped and murdered, it somehow becomes less of a crime and we should believe the victim would still be alive if she had not been a prostitute.
Where did this come from? A woman is dead, a woman who will never know any other joy in life, a woman who has family and friends who will mourn her parting, a woman who should be considered a loss to society, a woman who did not deserve what she got, a woman who was robbed of her rights and the protection afforded her under the constitution, a woman who was trying to live in a society that takes better care of its allies than of its own citizens.
A society that forgets the victim and pities the criminal.
The victim wasn't abused as a child.
The victim did not have mental problems.
The victim did not feel sorry for herself because she was working instead of living off society.
The victim did not want to die a violent death.
The victim did not want to be remembered as deserving what she got, for how she dressed, or for her vulnerability.
The victim had the right to life.
The murderer took away that right.
The murderer will claim an abused childhood and mental problems.
The murderer feels sorry for the life he made.
The murderer will blame the victim and degrade her values as a reason for murder.
This same murderer in his last days of life will claim the state does not have the right to take his life.
Who will claim the death penalty is cruel and unusual, forgetting the cruel and unusually sustained punishment perpetrated on his victim.
Few cry for the victim, put a murderer to death they cry all night.
