I consider our elitist judiciary (on both sides of the Atlantic) to be guilty of the governance equivalent of depraved indifference. In America in particular, it’s been as if our judiciary and its allies have tried to turn the Bill of Rights into a “protected species act” for violent criminals. It would appear that we are about to enter a new phase of surging criminal violence because of the recent ascendancy of those who ascribe to these idiotic notions of “redemption” for the worst among us.
