The Two Faces of Justice in America



   Spc. Bradley Manning leaked information he believed revealed war crimes in Iraq. Starlet Lindsay Lohan bought and used drugs and stole a fancy bracelet from a jewelry story.
  
   Despite breaking parole conditions after several releases, Lohan only spent four late evening hours in the county jail on her latest arrest this weekend _ and that was after breaking parole again. Apparently her jail was too crowded.
  
   We don't know much about what is going on with Bradley Mannning. He was arrested in May of last year. He is still in prison though there has been no trial. He has been held in solitary much of the time.
  
   I don't think Lindsey had to remove her clothes when she went to bed. Of course if she had there would have been paparazzi around to catch her.
  
   Of course given that she was unable to post satisfactorily nakedly for Playboy, including full view of her vagina, there might not have been enough time. Her return to jail was delayed at the request of Playboy, whose editors said her naked photos were lame.
  
   Justice expert Jiwei C, author of "The Two Faces of Justice,"  says this kind of disaparate treatment cripples our justice system. Many will simply see no reason to obey the law. Some may want revenge.

  1. You've got it right. Right now the US justice system could indite a hamburger and let major swindlers(a la Wall Street) go free.
