There are at least 30 serious cracks or flaws in the American Justice system.
Imagine that you were walking down the sidewalk and a police officer thought you looked like a wanted “criminal”. He starts to arrest you. You push him back a little. You tell him you are innocent. He draws his gun, cuffs you, then maces or tazers you (pepper spray usually). After that, he puts you in a hot police car for an hour. You may have a heart attack, that has happened (see an earlier article on this site). Then the cop takes you to the police station. There you learn that you weren’t the suspect he was looking for. To cover his brutality, the cop charges you with assault and battery on a police officer. After all, you did touch him. He says that you were a wild man and that you struck him. You are charged with a assault and battery on a police officer which is a felony that could carries a sentence of over two years. As a convicted felon, you have fewer rights than an illegal alien. You can’t even get a job when you get out of jail.
You haven’t had a prior charge, so you get off after spending $20,000 on a lawyer. You plead to CWOF (Continued WithOut a Finding). You have to stay clean for a year and pay the cop $2000 for the injuries that were caused when you pushed him.
Crack 2 in the Liberty Bell is that the laws give the prosecutor the right to a wide range of charges. He has the right to charge you with from 10 days to over two years. Usually they opt for the maximum sentence. The cop wants to keep his job and make $2000, so he throws the book at you.
A guilty finding would make you a felon. Spending time in jail would cause you much hardship including, perhaps, the loss of your house and job. You are terrorized! You are extorted into paying a lawyer anything he wants.
Crack 2 in the Liberty Bell is sentences that are way too severe. Justice is primarily restitution. Disproportionate punishment certainly NOT justice, but a great evil. Even the legal bill is a great evil.

Bees are smart. They leave their hives when stressed out by over taxation (honey collection). Humans should leave their countries and form small groups that have a barter system or a ledger system that equates services to dollar amounts for the determination of who owes what. That’s how the early American colonies did it! Say NO to government! Form a city-state with no money and no taxation.
Be optimistic. Good people are video-taping bad cops. There is a movement afoot to turn this whole system upside down!
