What the hell does this woman have to say that I haven't heard already by watching her show?

She's fed up with people not living up to their responsibilities and will continue to rake in millions of dollars exploiting these people on television.

I'm sure she has plenty more anger-based value judgements to make.

In my years on the bench, I have

known many lawyers who are strongly

committed to representing the poor.

Whether they are called legal aid lawyers

or public defenders, they share a

philosophy that essentially views perpetrators

as victims. Even though

someone breaks the law, according to

their credo, they are victims of much

larger social injustices, and must be

treated with understanding. This kind

of thinking persists even when defenders

of the poor and downtrodden

themselves become victims. When we

tail to punish aggressors, we all become

victims. Maybe the bleeding hearts

should wear a sign that says "Mug Me

First!" so the rest of us would have a

chance. Try that for compassion and

understanding.

Implying any form of punishment stems from anything other than moral indignation on behalf the masses.

>> No.1008562

Only the victim can judge the crime, and only he can deliver justice. Revenge of equal measure is the only correction to a moral imbalance.

In the case of murder, it falls on the next of kin to demand satisfaction.

Is that even poetry? Sounds more like a legal address
