She’s no longer blind

There was once a saying that said “Lady Justice is Blind”  well, this saying maybe true based upon which side of the fence you’re on in today’s society.

If you’re a poor black person from over the hill / the ghetto not only is Lady Justice blind; but there is even a possibility that she was born with eyes in her head, concerning you feeling the full weight of the law.

Now, if you’re of a foreigner, a lighter shade  / Caucasian; then not only does Lady Justice has the ability to see, but she’s also inclined to turn her head / look the other way.   Among the multiple problems we’re facing here in the Bahamas this fact of Lady Justice being able to see can’t be denied no matter how the eloquent Legal Eagles / Attorneys and the powers that be, tries to refute it.

The only answer / solution to this problem is to blindfold Lady Justice once more and forever. 

There is no need for names calling when it come to swift justice in the Bahamas, but what logical answer can be given to the poor Bahamians some who have since died / passed on waiting for justice to be administered in their legal matters / situation.
Whereas on the other hand persons and matters such as Anna Nicole, John Travolta, The tourist (who beat down a few Niggers / Police Officers) and The Barefoot Bandit could be given the fast tract RED CARPET treatment of justice.

This two face system of justice that’s at work in the Bahamas can be liken to that of the medical condition called “Gangrene” which if not immediately and properly dealt with / treated can prove to be deadly to the person affected.
Despite the few bad apples within the Royal Bahamas Police Force which are being weeded out daily by the zero tolerance for corruption of Commissioner Greenslade and his executive team.
When it come to the detection of criminal activates and the apprehension of criminals every Bahamian (even criminals) should be very proud of our Police Force.
So today, the problems that we’re facing as a nation with crime is not a Policing problem; but rather it’s one of a judicial system that’s no longer blind and turns its head based upon one’s political / financial status and color.

A judicial system is set in place to exact justice against those who violates the laws of the land, and wherever there is any shred of corruption in a judicial system or the appearance thereof; then that system has been compromised and must be set back on its right course immediately.
Naturally speaking:
The disadvantage to the average Bahamian who happens to be on the wrong side of the fence is this: Outside of their judicial system which is no longer blind, there is no other entity of which they can call on to intervene.
The church which was once looked up to and perceived as the moral compass of society has been so badly compromised by politically motivated religious leaders and those whose passion it is to generate wealth; rather than having leaders who would boldly stand up and cry out against every form of injustice and intervene on behalf of the downtrodden.

Justice should always be blind and never biased to the keeping of the law.  Whereas visionary leaders are to ensure that justice remains blind.
Watch this!
Prov.29:18.  Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.

There’s just something about vision and the law; notwithstanding that justice is blind yet vision and the law working together ensures that Lady Justice is guided directly.

Spiritually speaking, here’s a few questions:
 KJV: 
Job.8:3.  Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
NLT:
Job.8:3.  Does God twist justice? Does the Almighty twist what is right?

Here’s a stern warning to the country’s elite and those of you who compromisingly sits in various seats of authority.
NLT:
Ps.82: 1.  God presides over heaven's court; he pronounces judgment on the judges:
: 2.  "How long will you judges hand down unjust decisions? How long will you shower special favors on the wicked? Interlude
: 3.  "Give fair judgment to the poor and the orphan; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.

The Bahamas is a beautiful nation and if we continue to close our eyes to a justice system which should be blind, but it’s not when it comes to execution of its duties. The true essence of the Bahamas’ beauty would be a thing of the past.
       
It’s time to rise up Bahamians and take a stand against all forms of corruption and injustice no matter if its emanating from the highest political or religious office in the land right down to the least office.

Let’s ensure that justice remains blind:
