Two-Tier Justice Is Nothing New
The recent actions of the British Government and more specifically of both the police and the courts has led to claims of both two-tier policing and two-tier justice. There are too many examples to cite but the Lucy Connolly case is probably the best known, especially when contrasted with the lenient treatment and at times non-treatment of grooming gang perpetrators.
Two-tier justice is nothing new though, nor is it confined to the UK. Under the Biden Administration, we saw outright persecution of people engaged in lawful activity while the authorities turned a blind eye to serious political violence. Parents were arrested for protesting at school boards against some of the filth being peddled in school libraries. In one notorious incident, a man was arrested for protesting against the way a school had attempted to cover up a sexual assault on his daughter by a so-called trans pupil.
Two-tier justice goes back a long way before that, and indeed it has been largely feminist pressure groups who campaigned for it. Here is a modern example from a UK charity. According to Women In Prison:
“76% of women in prison report having a mental health problem.
70% of women in prison have experienced domestic abuse.
Self-harm was at the highest rate ever recorded in 2023. It increased 52% in the year to March 2023.
53% of women in prison have experienced abuse as children.
72% of women leaving one prison faced homelessness or unsafe accommodation.”
Statistics like this are plucked out of thin air, but let’s go through them. If you have ever been depressed due to a bereavement, losing your job, suffering chronic back pain…you too have had a mental health problem.
What does domestic abuse mean? A woman who was slapped once by her husband in a thirty year marriage can claim to have experienced domestic abuse.
Self-harming is a choice - stay away from women like that.
Have more than half of women experience abuse when they were young? The word “sexual” has been omitted here but it is implied. Lots of kids are abused, mostly by other kids. Growing up is painful.
As for women facing homelessness or unsafe accommodation when leaving prison, this is something men face in spades. People released from prison after serving long sentences are generally given a certain amount of support. They may for example be granted day or weekend release towards the end, or even found accommodation. When he was Prisons Minister, Chris Grayling made a concerted attempt to solve the problems faced by short term prisoners on their release.
Leaving aside contrived statistics, there are some people - principally second wave and now third wave feminists - who believe women are perpetual victims and should never be held to account for their crimes. Sadly, they have had some success in pushing this narrative. Probably the most shocking example of this is Karla Homolka. Canada’s most hated woman was given a sentence of a mere twelve years when like her serial rapist husband she deserved a life sentence.
The Ken and Barbie killers: Paul Bernardo is rightly serving a life sentence, but not Karla.
Still in Canada, on March 12, 1997, The Toronto Star reported that “wacko” woman Alexandra Marsh was given a sentence of twenty-three and a half months for a knife attack on a disabled woman; the victim had only one eye, the result of a car crash. The poor girl was said to have been scarred for life; Marsh also spat on the police after being arrested.
Can you imagine a man with previous convictions receiving such a short sentence? In 1983, she had falsely accused an off-duty police officer of rape, a crime for which she appears to have suffered no meaningful punishment.
If female violence against other women is treated almost with indifference, when the victim is male, the argument is often made that it was justified. Indeed, there is a long list of women in especially the UK who have literally gotten away with murder.
Emma Humphreys served just over seven years for stabbing her lover through the heart in February 1985. Three decades later, Farieissia Martin stabbed her lover through the heart and ended up serving even less time. And, would you believe, the same viper’s nest of toxic feminist liars were behind her walking free too?
One does not have to look far to find examples of women who have committed all manner of crimes from the relatively trivial all the way up to murder and who have been treated far more leniently than men ever were. Mary Konye was given a 12 year sentence for a planned and totally unprovoked acid attack on Naomi Oni. How many years do you think a man would have been given for committing such a crime?
Not content with this unduly lenient treatment, there are some feminists who believe women should never be punished for any of their misdeeds. Whatever crime a woman commits, a man is responsible, not her. That applies even to terrorists like Shamima Begum who is currently languishing in a Syrian refugee camp. There are those who would have us believe she is a victim because she was groomed by an Islamist on-line. Fortunately, the courts have not been fooled by such semantic games, not in this instance, and this little monster will continue to languish in a Syrian camp for all they care.
Whenever you hear the phrase two-tier justice, think of feminism first, then other manifestations of so-called social justice.
