Are we all equal before The Law?

Judge Ill. | 03.09.2011 15:28

In the year of 2011 the unequal sentencing in the courts, shows that social class is still the way to be let off your crimes. The rich get lenient sentences, while the poor get locked up.

The post riot revenge of the ruling class saw one yound man sentenced to six months in prison for stealing £3.50 worth of mineral water. Two others were jailed for four years apiece for inciting on Facebook a riot that never took place. They were young and poor, so the system inflicted its worst.

In the same week, Westminster Magistrates heard how Christopher Basson had fraudulently claimed £12,000 in Incapacity Benefits in order to feed his heroin habit while he received £26,000 in allowances from Camden Council. Basson, a former Lib Dem councillor, received a 28 day jail sentence, suspended for one year.

How can they even attempt to claim that all classes are treated equally before The Law? It is a sick joke. Could it be that Basson was a Freemason? How can they justify his lenient sentence in comparison to those imposed on the youth who reacted to a Police execution?

Bizarrely.....

Recently, an upper class kid was jailed for swinging from the flag on the cenotaph during the student demo, but a black cop was let off with assaulting a protester at the G20.

Bit ironic don't you think, jailing Gilmour was hardly the ruling class victimising the working man. And surely the Met would want to make an example of a black officer abusing his position?

Not bizarre. For the state, jingoism trumps class and being a cop trumps being black.

When Jack the Ripper was discovered by the residents, they reported to Scotland Yard and they said, that there was a law for the rich and a law for the poor, and that they did never equate the two. Further that they did not allow any scandal to occur to the Royalty.

Scotland yard lied then and because the killings were over one hundred years ago, they declared that the case was over, and they lied again that they did not know who done it. Not surpising they were caught illegally hacking the peoples privacy even today.

Wake Up.
