> In a recent interview, the judge, who sits on the Mississippi State Circuit Court, was unapologetic about his regime of indefinite detention: “The criminal system is a system of criminals. Sure, their rights are violated.” But, he added, “That’s the hardship of the criminal system.”
There is evil in all of us, I'm sure, and there those who allow themselves to be consumed by it. When I read these words, it's hard for me to see a person but instead, a monster.
- orib 11y agoThere's one quote that I see people refer to quite often: > William Roper: So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law! > Sir Thomas More: Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil? > William Roper: Yes, I'd cut down every law in England to do that! > Sir Thomas More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned 'round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man's laws, not God's! And if you cut them down, and you're just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake! -- A Man for All Seasons, 1966.
