The Court System Doesn't Render Justice - It Only Renders The Law

WHO FORGOT TO COVER THE CHEESE?!!!

Sad to say, but over the two and one half centuries of our country's history numerous ways have been found by those within the political and legal structure to bend and mutate justice one thinks of as applying to everyone. What has been established by actual practice, and what has been generally accepted by the American public, is that those with power, notariety or money obtain a "higher order" form of justice than the vast numbers of remaining American peons.

Unfortunatley, this appears to be the case with regard to Mike Herren. The Bristol County District Attorney has requested the assistance of the Plymouth County District Attorney in prosecuting the Bristol County case against Mr. Herren. Such a request is not very unusual. It is used in instances where the DA's office may be in some form of "conflict of interest" in a case before them. However the reason for this request may be a bit specious. The Bristol County DA Sam Sutter (forever now to be known on this blog as "Sudden Sam") claims that because of his involvement with radio station WSAR, which employs Mike Herren as talk show host "The Hurricane", he cannot, by reason of conflict of interest, prosecute the case against Herren.

However, Plymouth County DA Mr. Cruise "knows Mike is a good guy who works with youths". WHOA! Ok, this surely will be a tireless search for the truth and an exhaustive review of testimony and facts of the case. Yeah, right! This is just a heaping , steaming pile of stinky cheese my friends. Hold your nose and smell "Duh Limboigah" as the Three Stooges would say. Only in this case the three stooges appear to be the DA's from Plymouth and Bristol Counties and Mike Herren. Before that statement by Mr. Cruise, the only stooge we knew about was Herren. Live long enough and you will see something that, not shocks, but amazes you. Like how stupid the pols in this area of the state think people are!

The connections on this case are simply fascinating. Most interesting is the fact that one of Sudden Sam's Investigators, City Councillor Linda Pereira, might have an impact on the case. I know it's just a coinicidence, but Hurricane Herren just LOVES Mayor Robert "Hey guys, I just found $2 million in Cash" Correia". And who was that City Councillor that most people believe Mayor Cash Cow prompted to run agaginst Rep. Dave Sullivan as punishment for Sullivan's run against Correia for Mayor? That would be City Councillor Linda Pereira! Quel surprise! And who on the City Council thinks the sun rises and sets in Mayor Cash Cow's rear end? You're right, that same City Councillor Linda Pereira! But this game is way to easy for you, you catch on so fast!

Stinky, stinky, runny cheese! EEwwwwweeeee! That's exactly how I feel right now. This case was settled before it began. First, according to reliable rumor told to me by someone in the know, the Mayor himself called the Police Station and had entries in the station log "fudged" to protect his "convivial" vocal media mouthpiece. Then, the ex-step mom of Herren, the editor of the FRHN , prevented the timely posting of the story that Herren faces a felony charge. Herren apparently continues the behavior for which we all know him - angry, rageful drinking, harrasment of women, deranged comments, weird behavior On and Off the air ( or so I am told, I haven't seen this in person, but given his track record....), his neighborhood terrified of this feral presence who stays up until 5 AM most nights and early mornings with people coming and going at all hours of the night (how do I know this....talk to his neighbors and police!) This guy is a gun pointed at Fall River! The fact that he supports Bobby Cash Cow for Mayor tells you all you need to know.

Most elected officials REALLY only respect one thing - other people who are elected officials. You see, in their minds, they see it as your only required bona fide to join this very exclusive club. You were elected and you have the ability to get people to vote for you. This becomes a method of bartering, like wampum, only dirtier, and unseen. (Funny, that sounds like the Mafia, doesn't it!) The one with the most votes holds the most wampum, the most influence and power. They have an identifiable and moveable fan club (voters). They rule, and they wield their power like lobbyists wield cash. (But that's a whole differnt story!) Talk about influence peddling. It usually doesn't cost them a thin dime. And even if you are the richest man in the world, an elected official, say a Senator, will always hold a person who has won an election, like a Town Dog Officer, in higher regard. They are a member of the club. They have votes that can be transferred to that Senator with a simple phone call. All it might cost the Senator someday is an endorsement.

This "conflict of interest" reason is just that. Sudden Sam having to do a lousy job in prosecuting someone they don't want to prosecute, publicly, would be a conflict in his keeping the pols, and associated votes, in Fall River happy, and that would not be in his interest. To have Plymouth County handle the case and do a lousy job on purpose in prosecuting Herren is just one of those political favors these "Masters of the Political Universe" do for one another. Because you never know.....every one of these elected folks has as their driving force the idea that some day, yes some day, THEY could be elected President of the United States!(Now who is smelling stinky cheese?!)

Herren, much to his consternation in hearing this, is really small potatos. What is critical here is what is really going on. That is one politician doing another politician a favor in order to keep ALL the politicians, the ones who are friendly with one another, happy. And you never know. After the election process is over in November, after The Hurricane can no longer influence voters, he may just find himself out of a job, and facing some serious moments before a jury in Plymouth County. You just never know. Only the members of the club know. And they won't talk.
