The broken justice system

There are those of you out there that would say that someone deserved what they got considering what you're seeing on the news, but in truth are you really seeing everything that's being shown to you on the news, some would say that yes you are considering that the news is supposed to be fair and balanced and never just show one side of the whole thing (and I think you know where I'm going with this line here), and I believe that the same could be said for Fox Lies (a.k.a. Fox News). So when it comes to the news, these days the major ones tend to be a bit (OK not a bit) biased towards what they happen to be reporting, and if it's dealing with anything court related then you know for a FACT they they're going to be reporting the news in a way that makes sure that people hate the person that happens to be on trial, and there's no way other wise to know what's what. Another part of that problem happens to be that even if you want to find out the truth with what's going on, you can't you're limited to what's being told to you and nothing more.

The justice system is broken, and it's partly the media's fault in this, after all they're only going to be either reporting on what they know and/or what they're told, either way the ones watching are never going to be getting told the whole story no matter what, and in this way, the system is broken and I doubt that it will ever be getting fixed any time soon at all.

Here in Martinez I was heading over to the local library where I'm writing this now, and across the street is the county court house, and there is a case going on over there right now that came out of Richmond, now considering that I can't exactly watch the news, I only know what's been over heard by my own ears by those that have watched the news, and believe me that's not going to be much, namely since I already know that the system is broken so there is no way in the world that anyone can actually get a fair trial, and the kicker is, it doesn't matter if the defense did this to make sure that people knew what was going on, or that the prosecution did it in order to make sure that everything go slanted towards how they want it to be. The only problem is, people these days have been conditioned to automatically dislike anyone dealing with certain words that come up, and mind you this is something that was programmed into us since childhood and they're still doing it too no matter what one might think about it. After all, this isn't just coming from the higher levels of government (though part of it might actually be doing that in the first place), no this is coming from our school teachers in the first place and those that want to make sure that they think they're raising you right. To hate certain things, to like other things, for example that you might not think about it, for boys to like only things related to sports or anything else dealing with guys, or for the girls for them to be interested in anything that might be related to girls (seriously nothing really comes to mind for either side since even though I still see it all out there, the majority of what I'm want to write here has crossed sides so much that one can really say what side it's for these days). But it's just the thought that we are still working on trying to raise our kids to either like or dislike certain things, personally I don't happen to think it's right, but you have those out there that think they know best and really won't listen to what others have to say about the entire thing.

That's where all of this ends up leading us off to in the end, is that we will never be able to have anything fair in this country any more as long as one side want to dominate the flow of information to make sure that no one actually gets the justice that should be there in the first place. Problem is, this is also one system that we can't fix by electing someone in there that would actually fix things, that's a problem that we actually have to deal with, because for the most part justice will never be there as long as there are those that want to control certain sides and taint the jury to how they want them to think in the end.
