I’ve always said that peace cannot exist without justice. Peace without justice is anarchy. It is justice that allows peace to prosper. Without justice, those who wish to do harm can do so without regard to its consequences. Furthermore, justice provides the people with knowing that actions against them will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
The Attorney General of the United States recently dropped all charges against the Black Panthers for voter intimidation. YouTube has a few videos of the voter intimidation. Justice Department did not release an official statement but simply dropped the charges. Most charges are dropped when there is not enough evidence to move forward with a trial, but with the video evidence, it seems like this is not the case.
