CRIME VICTIMS JOINING FORCES ACROSS BORDERS

Excerpts from an exchange between crime victims who are also victims of our injustice systems.

 

 

Phyllis Carter  Without the fire of anger and righteous indignation, we do nothing. Canadians are famous for being nice and doing nothing.

 

Samantha - Anonymous said...The defeatist attitude stems from no one listening... our plea for help is falling on the deaf ears to those who have the ability to make law. We hear that the public needs to get involved. The public is involved ... especially those of us who are victims of abuse and a failing family law system  .... Most importantly, no one who is making decisions is being held accountable. As victims, we are told to tell someone... but who is listening. What is interesting is that what is happening to women across the country is backed by statistics ... and still there is no justice. Victims fall between the cracks and get left behind.

 

 

Phyllis Carter  The criminals in my case will never be rid of me until they return everything they stole and the courts condemn them to an appropriate penalty. I have suffered for more than fourteen years because of their crimes. What would be an appropriate penalty?

 

Samantha.   I don't believe there is anything that could be just enough as a penalty. Phyllis, we will prevail... through prevailing we may become Martyrs... if God/the Universe has a role of a Martyr for us, then so be it... Maybe we'll be rewarded in heaven... Maybe we'll see some sort of justice...(it'll never just enough).. NEVER GIVE UP... I won't either... you are my inspiration and reminder...SHINE THAT LIGHT!

 

 

Phyllis Carter   Samantha, I sincerely appreciate your encouragement. I never wanted to be a martyr. I want to be a helper to people who suffer injustice. And I continue day and night fighting for that.

 

The authorities can swat mosquitoes day and night, but as long as there are any of us left who refuse to shut up, who refuse to be suppressed, intimated, shamed, insulted, ignored, deferred, delayed - as long as victims of abuse and crime and injustice refuse to shut up, evil cannot sleep at night.

If you don't have a bible, check on the Internet for THE PARABLE OF THE UNJUST JUDGE. Luke 18. It is my inspiration. My righteous indignation.

 

And check also Ephesians 5:11 - EXPOSE THE DEEDS OF DARKNESS.

And the Old Testament - Deuteronomy 16:20 - JUSTICE, ONLY JUSTICE SHALT THOU PURSUE.

 

It is right to oppose evil and to demand justice for what the bible calls "the poor" - That doesn't mean only people who have little money. It means those who are disadvantaged.

 

But when we speak truth to power, we are powerful.
