Vigilante injustice is alive and “well” in these here United States
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008 Are you ready to be pissed off? Good, because you came to the right place. Check this out…A prisoner killed in a Maryland county jail on Sunday was a victim of “vigilante justice,” Prince George’s County Chief Executive Jack Johnson said.
Ronnie White, 19, was in custody in connection with the death of a police officer.
Ronnie White, 19, died of strangulation and asphyxiation and had two broken bones in his neck, an autopsy showed.
An attorney for White’s family said that because White was being held in solitary confinement at the Prince George’s County Correctional Center, a corrections officer would have had to let whoever killed the prisoner into his cell. Link to rest of the article
This is a man who hadn’t seen his day in court nor had a chance to address the charges against him and some assholes decided to take it upon themselves to execute a summary judgment on him. Hell, even the worst dictators in the world have a greater sense of right and wrong than this. But what can “we” do about it?
To start with we can demand justice. Someone must hang for this. It is as simple as that. Probably multiple people if the truth were known. I don’t mean legally hang I mean literally hang. Like they did to people in the old days. You know, wild west style. Except they’ll get a fair trial before they hang.
Or am I wrong?
