From a White homeless to a black President: U.S. law protects
Two interesting cases of injustice were reported recently in U.S. media, one involving a homeless man and one the U.S. President. In the case of Kelly Thomas, a mentally ill, homeless man in Southern California, he was fatally beaten by two violent unprovoked police officers. Prosecutors have charged two Officers in Thomas' death. Ironically, Kelly's father is apparently a retired Orange County Police Officer.
In another story, the wild-looking country music singer Hank Williams Jr. in an interview on the Republican-leaning Fox News TV made an unprompted comparison between Obama and Hitler! Williams first refused to apologize but later recanted and issued an apology for his remarks, which prompted ESPN to pull his classic intro song to "Monday Night Football."
The son of a white police officer becomes homeless and mentally ill, then abused and killed by Police Officers. The Judicial system takes this seriously and indicts the Police Officers.
The son of an African immigrant become the U.S. President, then insulted by some racist white guy on a TV station. Then the White man is forced to apologize. His song is canceled.
There is much injustice in the world and in America. But justice is also being served in America every day for the rich and the poor.
