LET JUSTICE ROLL DOWN LIKE WATER

Justice, fairness, even-handedness in the legal system are among the greatest of public mental health palliatives, cures, or remedies that exist. Their unreasonable denial is the cause of too many personnel explosions, or of other human life tragedies, played out in the media, such as those who go "postal;" or who, like Charles "Cookie" Thornton of Kirkwood, Missouri, or Christopher Dorner, formerly of the Los Angeles Police Department, will sacrifice their own lives to obtain in death the respect and acclaim denied to them in life.


Let justice roll down like water, and righteousness like a mighty stream. Amos 5:24.
