The events in Louisville, Ky give the indication that things did not go as some wanted. What were you looking for, Justice or Revenge?

When I see your signs stating “Justice for (fill in the blank)), Does not everyone deserve justice? I have to wonder what is your definition of Justice?

In your world is one presumed innocent until proven guilty? Or is one guilty until proven innocent?

In your court are findings of guilt based on facts or emotions? Is your Court the court of public opinion or a court of law?

And just how fair of a trial will one receive in your court? Will you claim that justice was served only if the verdict reached is the verdict you wanted? Anything else, to you, is a case of justice denied.

When I see your signs proclaiming “No Justice No Peace”, I have to wonder if this is some attempt at extortion.  Are you saying that peace will only come if the Justice you wanted was the outcome?

Your actions seem to support this. The Grand Jury did not bring forth an indictment you thought was deserved. You did not get what you wanted and thus began a new series of riots.

Tonight, as in nights past, riots will occur. You can bet that the leaders of those cities saw the events unfold in Louisville when the mob was not satisfied.

There is one thing worse than “mob rule” and that is “mob justice.”

I have a feeling that the only justice you will accept is the justice you want.
