And Justice For Some

The big news out of Madison is that the city clerk, Maribeth Witzel-Behl, has resigned from office.  The action comes as a result of making a major mistake after nearly 20 years in office when her office failed to count some 200 ballots.  

But don't think for an instant that justice has been done.  

Justice will not be served when a clerk loses her job, despite 20 years of impeccable service, after someone in her office made a grave mistake, but a corrupt mayor who intentially stole a ballot box, denying the right to vote to a community goes without facing any consequences.

Justice will not be served until Wausau Mayor Doug Diny is also held accountable. 

Getting Away With Murder

One fateful night a year and a half ago, George Zimmerman thought he'd be a tough guy by becoming a one-man vigilante party.  He donned his gun and went out for a stint of "neighborhood watch."

In his patrol, Zimmerman saw a young man that was wearing a hooded jacket and eating Skittles.  Zimmerman immediately suspected this young man of being up to no good, for no other reason than the child was black.

Zimmerman, against advice from the police, started following the young man.  Not only did he follow him, but he confronted him, provoked him and attacked him.  The young man fought back.  It was only then that Zimmerman "felt afraid for his life" and pulled out his handgun.

Trayvon Martin died that night at the hand of George Zimmerman.

It was not a justified murder.  It was the act of a cowardly racist bastard.

But Florida has a "Stand Your Ground" law, which we have learned apparently means that you can legally provoke someone to the point of getting them to act so that you can shoot them.

In other words, it let's one get away with murder.

As long as your white.

A black woman who fired a gun in real self defense against her abusive husband had just been sentenced to 20 years in prison, even though she didn't even hurt anyone.  When she claimed the "Stand Your Ground" defense, she was quickly denied this.  Her problem was that she didn't have the right skin color or the NRA-sponsored attorney's to defend her, like Zimmerman did.

And if there was any doubt that this was about race, look at some of the early reactions from the idiots that came out in support of Zimmerman.

My most sincerest hope is that the family of Trayvon Martin takes Zimmerman to court for wrongful death so that Zimmerman cannot profit off of his murderous ways.  My next most sincere home is that Zimmerman lives long enough to pay them.

Prosser's Sacred Vow

The news came out last week that the special prosecutor assigned to investigate the case of David Prosser attacking Supreme Court Justice Ann Walsh Bradley had decided not to pursue criminal charges against Prosser.

This is despite the fact that Prosser admitted to laying hands on Walsh's neck without her permission.  Added to this is the fact that he said he did it out of reflex, showing his innate disposition to aggressive behaviors.

And to think that this all stemmed from the fact that Walsh told him to leave her chamber after he started bad-mouthing Supreme Court Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson wasn't allowing him to rubber stamp Scott Walker's union busting bill fast enough. After all, you can't expect someone like Prosser to be bothered with actually reviewing the facts of a case before making his decision.  He just has to do what the Fitzgeralds tell him to do.

But in an effort to make amends, I understand that Prosser has taken a solemn oath.  He has promised to put on some ill-fitting gloves and search high and low until the real choke-holder is found and brought to justice.
