Opinion | Garland’s mushy speech to Harvard grads does not inspire confidence, a WAPO editorial of 5-11-22, and on that date the Enlighten Prisoner commented thus:
In September 1983, James Q. Wilson, a Political Scientist wrote the book, "Thinking About Crime". His summary paragraph at the end still provides one of the best lessons we have yet to learn.
"Wicked people exist. Nothing avails except to set them apart from innocent people. And many people, neither wicked nor innocent, but watchful, dissembling, and calculating of their opportunities, ponder our reaction to wickedness as a cue to what they might profitably do. We have trifled with the wicked, made sport of the innocent, and encouraged the calculators. Justice suffers, and so do we all!"
