broken justice in north america

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2005.06.13

So it seems that Karla Homolka, scourge of St. Catharines (my birthplace and, when she and "Bernardo*" were torturing and raping girls, my home town) is going to be free, soon. And Michael Jackson somehow managed to get acquitted. Sometimes it's welcome to see that the Canadian justice system isn't alone in its limitations.

*IIRC, the filth assembled his current name from those of some fictional killers in movies and TV.

In our society, there seems a general rule that, the more obviously one's work benefits other people, the less one is likely to be paid for it.
