Equal Justice for Victims: A Blueprint for the Rightful Restoration of Capital Punishment

Equal Justice for Victims: A Blueprint for the Rightful Restoration of Capital Punishment

Lester Jackson Ph. D.

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2017
nidottu
The title is based on two shocking facts, one unreported by the media: (1) the disgracefully scandalous official abuse of violent crime victims; and (2) the ghastly gap in the value placed on the lives of victims vs. barbaric criminals. The rulers who abuse their power, by forcing their will on the unwilling, are passionately devoted to the most depraved criminals. Disdainful of murder victims and their suffering survivors, who are also victims, America's rulers have values vastly contrary to those of most decent people. In practice, our rulers value a murder's life at far more than 584 times his victim's; and a victim's life at far less than 0.17% of his or her murderer's. Many millions of victimized survivors of murder victims believe it is long past due to provide Equal Justice for Victims. This book is written not only for them but also for anyone dedicated to justice, public safety and honest representative government; and who is repulsed by the current massive mockery of these widely accepted values. Trained in American Government and Politics, Lester Jackson contends that capital punishment is a POLITICAL rather than LEGAL issue. Politics involves conflicts between groups, interests and values. The death penalty clash is between victims and their vicious tormentors. The latter include not only convicted barbaric criminals but also their champions in and out of government. Equal Justice for Victims describes evil and injustice. Good innocent human beings experience protracted excruciating suffering at the hands of not merely premeditated murderers, maimers and rapists, but also the people who love them, defend them and protect them, needlessly enabling further savage crimes. The defenders, protectors and enablers are at least as evil as those to whom they are so devoted. These include United States Supreme Court justices who (a) express deep concern for the most depraved and utter contempt for the most decent people; (b) save convicted premeditated rapists and murderers by lying about facts and law; (c) don't care about the additional depraved crimes and suffering that they knowingly cause; and (d) for the benefit of the guilty, subject the innocent to unspeakable, unending and unnecessary agony. Because such justices know, or should know, exactly what they do, they are the epitome of pure evil. Justices on today's Supreme Court have declared war on public safety. In order to do so, they have declared war on the people's right to self-government by dishonestly and arrogantly usurping the Constitutional powers of elected representatives. EJV has three parts. The first part describes the death penalty's conflicting political combatants. The second part explains why one side has prevailed over the other. Although the author considers the late Justice Antonin Scalia to have been one of the greatest justices ever, this book also is critical of Scalia. The final and most important part proposes a remedy to compel this country's rulers to adopt a policy that values the lives of past and potential victims of savagery at least as highly as those of savages. This must be political. Political justices must be fought in the political arena. It must be made clear to the public that the U. S. Supreme Court decides the most controversial cases on the basis of politics rather than law. It is imperative that the public understand that the most activist justices are politicians with same low integrity associated with politicians. EJV details a political campaign to educate the public about the Supreme Court's fraudulent illegitimacy. The worst justices concede that their abuses would fail if The People refuse to accept their "demands." The People must be persuaded to declare that enough is enough and, hence, to demand that their elected officials put an end to unlawful and unconstitutional judicial "demands."

Two Spirit People is the first-ever look at social science research exploration into the lives of American Indian lesbian women and gay men. Editor Lester B. Brown posits six gender styles in traditional American Indian culture: men and women, not-men and not-women (persons of one biological sex assuming the identity of the opposite sex in some form), and gays and lesbians. He brings together chapters that emphasize American Indian spirituality, present new perspectives, and provide readers with a beginning understanding of the place of lesbian, gay, and bisexual Indians within American Indian culture and within American society. This beginning will help you understand these unique people and the special challenges and multiple prejudices they face.Traditionally, American Indian cultures showed great respect and honor for alternative gender styles, since these were believed to be part of the sacred web of life. If the Great Spirit chose to create alternative sexualities or gender roles, who was bold enough to oppose such power? If one’s spiritual quest revealed one’s identity to be that of not-woman, not-man, gay, or lesbian, who should defy their calling? The interpretation of contemporary American Indian religions that gay American Indians retain sacred rights within Indian cultures, and that they can share this gift with others, have implications for therapy, identity formation, social movements, and general human relations. Social workers and other human service professionals, American Indian studies students, sociologists, anthropologists, and lesbian and gay scholars will find Two Spirit People enlightening and a significant contribution to the development of professional interventions for oppressed groups that is ethnically and culturally sensitive. Only by understanding the belief systems from which these oppressed groups come will you begin to really help them achieve positive change. You will become better equipped to specifically help gay and lesbian American Indians as you gain insight into:American Indian alternative gender styles social service issues for American Indian lesbians and gay men American Indian not-men and not-women and their choosing ceremonies American Indian lesbian and gay identity development American Indian lesbian and gay literature AIDS and American IndiansTwo Spirit People helps you see that family and community acceptance of lesbians and gays is possible. The families of American Indian lesbians and gays do not usually abandon them, thus helping them face a generally unaccepting American milieu. Looking to this book and the American Indian perspective of alternative sexuality/gender styles, American society as a whole can begin to take a new approach to the treatment and understanding of other groups traditionally held to the “outside” of American mainstream society.
