Justice Delayed

Lemme just say this…I’m deeply disappointed that the motherfucking criming griftasaurus was given a break and another goddamn chance yesterday. 

Also enraged.

It’s up to us to make sure the insane orange ball of hate, his henchman, puppet masters and minions fail and do so in max humiliating fashion.

VOTE! PROTEST! RAISE YOUR VOICE!

Justice too long delayed is justice denied.
~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality, and you shall not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the cause of the righteous.
~ Deuteronomy 16:19 

I should like to be able to love my country and still love justice.
~ Albert Camus

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.
~ Elie Wiesel

Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.

~ Benjamin Franklin
I believe that there will ultimately be a clash between the oppressed and those who do the oppressing. I believe that there will be a clash between those who want freedom, justice and equality for everyone and those who want to continue the system of exploitation. I believe that there will be that kind of clash, but I don't think it will be based on the color of the skin.
~ Malcolm X 

Justice is unjust,
When it merely imposes,
The will of the state.
~ Victor D López  


Never forget that justice is what love looks like in public.
~ Cornel West

In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.
~ Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

I am opposing a social order in which it is possible for one man who does absolutely nothing that is useful to amass a fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars, while millions of men and women who work all the days of their lives secure barely enough for a wretched existence.
~ Eugene Debs

We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.
~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer

To be wealthy and honored in an unjust society is a disgrace.
~ Confucius, The Analects

Justice? -You get justice in the next world, in this world you have the law.
~ William Gaddis, A Frolic of His Own

I am convinced that imprisonment is a way of pretending to solve the problem of crime. It does nothing for the victims of crime, but perpetuates the idea of retribution, thus maintaining the endless cycle of violence in our culture. It is a cruel and useless substitute for the elimination of those conditions--poverty, unemployment, homelessness, desperation, racism, greed--which are at the root of most punished crime. The crimes of the rich and powerful go mostly unpunished.
~ Howard Zinn, You Can't Be Neutral on a Moving Train: A Personal History of Our Times

Sometimes, the only way to get justice is to take it for yourself.

~ Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom
