On his First Day in office the 47th President, Donald J.  Trump  proved an old saying wrong, “If you do the crime you do the time.”  Well obviously that phrase was kicked out the door when  DJT pardoned 1,600 law breakers They were pardoned because their law breaking was all done in the service of DJT when he refused to hand over power peacefully. What do you say to the law officers who were doing their duty to protect and serve? What do you say to the officers who were rammed with the American Flag? What about the officer whose faces were jammed into the fencing and who struggled to breathe. 

 How dare you say you stand behind and support the Blue/Police when you let violent criminals who harmed them out of jail?  These are some of the  same people who  caused injuries to 174 police officers. These people were adjudicated as guilty, but are not paying for their crimes. And YES there were crimes committed. 


But despite the GOP rhetoric, the charges against defendants like Webster and Fairlamb are not an anomaly. Rather, they are part of a larger pattern of violence wrought that day, particularly against the largely outnumbered police officers who were there. Of the more than 500 people(as of the writing of this piece) now charged in relation to the storming of the Capitol, at least 96 of them, or nearly 1 in 5, are accused of committing acts of violence, according to a database created and maintained by NPR of all the people charged in the riot.”  New Videos Underscore The Violence Against Police At The Jan. 6 Capitol Riot

Obviously we are seeing that the last words  of the last line of the  United States  Pledge of Allegiance “ ..with Liberty and Justice for all”  are being sullied in real time.  Let us resolve to not be hardened by  the hypocrisy of the miscarriage of justice and the destruction of the rule of law.


The Lord hates two things. He hates it when the guilty are set free. 

He also hates it when those who aren’t guilty are punished.

Proverbs 17:15 NIRV (New International Readers Version of the Bible)
