INJUSTICE FOR ONE IS INJUSTICE FOR ALL

According to Terry Moran (that last name is just too perfect for him) we aren't supposed to be concerned about the lack of justice in the Duke LaCrosse case. Why? Because rich, white boys were the victims. I've noticed that a lot of people seem to have this mentality and I have to say it troubles me. I'm a big justice person and I'm upset whenever an injustice is committed against anyone no matter what the race, gender or economic status is of the victim.

This is what was so troubling about the OJ Simpson case. Why was OJ Simpson acquitted? Because the members on the jury were upset about years of racism and decided that Nicole Brown Simpson & Ron Goldman didn't deserve justice. Why? Because they were white, and they were rich.

I say we champion justice for everyone, because the next time it could be you. You wouldn't want someone deciding you didn't deserve justice because of the color of your skin or how much money you happen to make.

As Whitlock said in the CNN interview, "You must maintain the moral high ground, you must have some consistency about you, injustice for one, is injustice for all."
