Justice is Way Too Slow
by Ron Ewart, President National Association of Rural Landowners Copyright August 9, 2008- All Rights Reserved

Whether you are the victim, or the loved one of a victim of assault, burglary, theft, arson, rape, murder, or the illegal actions of government, deep in your heart you ache for immediate justice, either by your own hand or by the legal application of the law. And while the pain of the event still fills your soul with deep, gut-wrenching emotion, you want that justice to be swift. But as our laws have become more complex and rife with conflict that liberal attorneys and activist judges can argue over for decades, swift justice has become an oxymoron, while the victim waits and waits and his anger and frustration rises by the day. He constantly wonders if he should have taken matters into his own hands. Some do. The principle of swift justice goes back a long way and some think that it was enumerated in Clause 40 of the Magna Carta of 1215 wherein it states, "To no one will we sell, to no one will we refuse or delay, right or justice." In some historical texts the principle became known as "Justice Delayed is Justice Denied" and was purportedly coined by this author's direct ancestor, the longest running Prime Minister of England, one William Ewart Gladstone. Justice delayed is justice denied was shoved in our faces once again while 15 years went by before Jose Medellion, the illegal alien that, along with a gang of brutal thugs, raped, tortured and murdered two teenage Texas girls, was finally executed under Texas law a few days ago. One of the fathers of one of the girls pressed his face up against the glass of the execution chamber to make sure that his angry face was the last thing Medillion saw before he met the fate that should have been delivered upon his rabid soul 15 years earlier, when the fresh pain of the father's loss still burned like a hot poker, deep in his gut, from the loss of his young daughter. True justice was denied to the loved ones of the two Texas girls whose lives on Earth were shorter than Medillion's time in jail, awaiting execution. Justice was truly denied and the final execution was a but hollow end to an abject human tragedy. Murder suspects sit in jail for 10 to 20 years as all appeals are exhausted before their justified sentence is carried out. Do-gooders, liberals, presidents, governors, bleeding heart groups and international courts get in the act before the victims or survivors heal the pain that has wracked them since the event, that in many cases has destroyed their lives, or their minds and bodies, while the taxpayer is forced to pick up the millions of dollars it costs to incarcerate the criminal in one of our prisons. All across America victims and citizens, who are not prone to obtaining frontier justice through violence, are forced to endure endless court sessions, depositions, interrogatories, illogical arguments over words and meanings of words, countless delays and legal maneuverings by attorneys and judges who care not one whit about true justice, along with naive jurors who debate the minutia of the case before rendering a verdict that may or may not equal justice. No one in the process seems to care about the emotional toll the long delays have on the victim's or citizen's well being. Another recent case wherein government perpetrated an unconscionable injustice on a Nevada rancher was decided in favor of the rancher after over 17 years of this back and forth legal mumbo jumbo. After spending millions to defend his property rights case against the government, Wayne Hage passed on before realizing this enormous victory, not only for him, but for all property owners who are under a vicious assault by their government and the radical environmentalists that have put government in an environmental strangle hold by a jusdicial system that has lost all concept of justice, natural law or constitutional principles. The Golden Rule of old holds no meaning if the perpetrator of a criminal or illegal act is allowed to escape the consequences of that act, or does not meet the swift justice he or she so richly deserves shortly after the committed crime, in order that decency and peace among men is preserved. Physical or financial punishment has been proven throughout history to be a deterrent against criminal or illegal acts. If that punishment is not administered with dispatch, the element of deterrent is diminished. If the punishment is not commensurate with the crime and criminals are let off with light sentences, or let out on probation like so many activist judges are want to do, criminals have no compunction about repeating their crimes, time and time again. Should we continue on this path of "justice delayed is justice denied", how long will it be before vigilante justice becomes the norm rather than the exception and the rule of law breaks down under its own complexity and conflict? What government does not do to fulfill its duty to protect the people under natural laws and individual rights, will eventually be fulfilled by the people. But the result could be anarchy. In an article we wrote back in 2004 entitled, "Every Time Government Writes a Law" we concluded that; "In the final analysis, extending legislating and law creation to its absurdity, one arrives at a point where there are so many laws that no one is in compliance and we end up losing our ability to enforce any of them. We become in fact, lawless by the very chaos that the policy makers have created." "Thus, the only answer is not in complexity, but in simplicity and fewer laws. Yes, a complex society needs laws to maintain "reasonable" societal order. But as laws increase, after a certain point, order begins to breakdown under its own weight of the people trying to comply with often conflicting and confusing codes, ordinances, regulations and acts. And worse, the more laws there are, the more opportunities for emotionally and financially draining lawsuits between aggrieved parties, egged on by lawyers who make their living off of human weaknesses and interpreting laws that no one else can understand." "There is an inviolate law in nature. Complexity in organisms can lead to the emergence of order. Biological evolution and diversity on Earth is a result of that law. However, it has also been shown that too much complexity in these organisms, in almost all cases, leads to chaos and finally extinction." "Ultimately, if we continue on the path we tread, we will become as a rogue spider, spinning a web from which we shall be forever entwined. Could that be our final destination? Are we to choke on our own obsessive/compulsive drive to complexity, or can we learn from the laws of nature?" There are way too many laws passed by legislators who have lost all touch with society's absolute mandate for true and quick justice. There are also way too many lawyers that get paid salaries way beyond the effect of their contribution to society, who make a living off the ignorance of the law by the average citizen. Each has led directly to the condition of "Justice Delayed is Justice Denied" and justice is way too slow to heal the wounds of the victims and bring quick punishment to the perpetrators to deter others who would follow in the criminal's path. What ails America on so many issues is directly tied to legislative malpractice and corruption, too many laws and too many lawyers and judges who have forgotten the deep roots of natural rights, freedom, liberty and justice, contained in our constitution. Should we not return to those roots, justice will continue to be denied and anarchy rustles restlessly like a shadow in our clouded crystal ball.
