Why does our Justice Department seem to be as effective as a fart in a windstorm?

[Stinky The Clown]

Just recently:

The Y'all Quada Yahoos. Why did it take so damned long? Were they black and urban, they've been dealt with in short order.

Michigan and what is increasingly clear are events and actions that, at least to my unlawyerly eyes, appear to be crimes against humanity. At the least this is a criminal conspiracy that has resulted in wanton indifference. And Flint is only the most famous such action in Michigan.

After every killing of unarmed/innocent black people by cops, we watch the coverups. At the end, the justice department announces a civil rights investigation. Then silence and another lump raises another spot under the national carpet.

What does it take for the feds to protect our citizens?

1. The Feds can't protect our citizens from-------other citizens.

That's up to us.

2. Hey, they have bankers they're busy coddling!

They can't be everywhere...!

5. I think discussion of the banksters is against the law, isn't it?

At least that's what I was thinking since it was NEVER FUCKING DISCUSSED IN OUR WORTHLESS MEDIA.

6. Why, they might have to yank your FCC license to use the "public" airwaves....

...if you used the "7 Dirty Words Describing the 1%"

(among which are "bankster," "class," "military-industrial," etc...)

3. Yuo really do not want me to answer that question

since that will anger a few people here. Suffice it to say, read the New Jim Crow... by Michelle Alexander

8. True, there are a bunch

the more I read into it, these days very technical, the more angry I become.

4. They were slow off the mark

but in their defense I think it gave time for public opinion to coalesce against the occupiers.

But something there is no fucking excuse for is letting the teahadists off the hook after the Bundy ranch fiasco. What did they think would happen next?
