Some things, that on the surface may seem frivolous, may not be so.

No one likes prosecutors anyway.

If you would like a link to this forum, feel free to email me at: JUSTICE1st@aol.com and I’ll send it to you. And by the way, this invitation to privately email me for this link is extended to anyone else here who wishes to discuss their views on issues related to criminal justice and who wishes to suggest ideas for positive change. I’m not going to post the link here, only because I’ve seen one or two posts that can only be described as “flaming,” with no positive purpose. We’re trying to keep flamers OUT of the other forum, as much as possible anyway. Thanks so much for posting outrages such as this, and will look forward to hearing from you when your time permits. :-)

I guess we should all just avoid any kind of courteous gestures such as the handshake from now on, to make sure we keep ourselves OUT of prison for “assault.”

Honestly, what passes for a “violent crime” these days is truly alarming, given that some unreasonable prosecutors are too quick to make a crime out of everything. Uh-oh, I just thought of something else; is it now a crime to call a prosecutor unreasonable? If that’s the case, I better start looking for a defense attorney myself. :-(
