In a case like Nifong, a long prison sentence is clearly justified, but prosecutors shouldn’t stand in fear of endless frivolous and malicious lawsuits.
Nifong-ism arose because the government got into the habit of catering to base habits and raw political expediency. It is incumbent on the electorate to punish abuses of power, and to limit government power. But in the Land of Obama, abuse of power, lawlessness and political expediency have become he norm. You are probably right, our next attorney general will probably try to have the Koch brothers executed and Mumia Abu-Jamal awarded the Medal of Freedom.
Don’t confuse the abuses of the system with the advent of Obama. This corruption is woven into the fabric of our justice system.
Pointing to Obama clouds the issue and makes it worse for all Americans.
Making things partisan in a case like this is a great disservice to us.
The problem preceded him and will continue well after he is a bad memory.
Too many Americans across the political spectrum point to one side or the other while the state screws us both. The powers-that-be love this and we continue to say thank you sir may I have another.
