Crime victims deserve justice

Dear Editor,

If there is one pet peeve it is our liberal legal justice system. I don’t know how you feel, but in my case I wasn’t for legal help but guess who is allowed. That’s right my taxpaying friend, the guilty get a free attorney. And guess who doesn’t get a free attorney? Right again! The crime victim is expected to pay.

Here is a question for all to really think on. Yes, even pray on for justice. It’s written in our pledge of allegiance: For liberty and justice for all. But guess who comes out on that deal? The guilty, every blasted time.

I say that we taxpaying victims must fight for our rights. Here is another question as well. Are you that scared to take a stand? After all, we are Americans, are we not? Stop being a coward and fight, plus be an American citizen to boot!

We demand better treatment and we feel sick and tired of the retarded liberal legal system. We need the law to understand and for the legal department to show compassion toward us taxpaying victims instead of giving it all to the guilty.
