I think the in the minds of the Bay View's editorial board, the only truly just system would be one where only white people went to jail (except for white people who blacks like, such as Lynne Stewart). I have never seen a single article where it was accepted as just when a black was given a jail sentence. Even drug dealers or murderers are only viewed as accessories, put up to it by the White Man. Let me tell you that in my 24 years as an African-American member of the NYPD there are many cases where I have seen African-American men commit crimes without a white pulling the strings. I have seen many blacks who actually received preferential treatment when arrested because of a fear of discrimination lawsuits. If we arrested a white under similar circumstances, he often would receive inferior treatment, because there are no laws that give whites special protection. That is true racism, laws that protect one ethnic group at the expense of another. The absurd perspective that this paper gives about every single arrest is designed to ferment racism. Not the racism of whites oppressing blacks, but the racism of blacks hating whites and blaming them for all their problems. I've met a total of seven racist whites in my line of duty. But the racism that I've seen among blacks is so pervasive that it truly makes me feel sad and ashamed. I know that I'll be called an "Uncle Tom" or a race traitor for this, but let me assure you, I am as black and proud of it as MLK. In my line of duty, I, and my white colleagues too, are not out to oppress anyone. We are out to protect the citizens of New York, regardless of skin color. We are living Martin Luther King's dream.

"Wake up and save the downtrodden millions of Africa from the murdering jihadists." What on earth are you talking about?

So sad you and those like you don't know what a true hero or heroine is, or even true freedom, for if you did you would be able to see truth.

I cannot believe you ignorant people! This is a serious miscarriage of justice. You people don't know the facts. Lynne Stewart had been a champion lawyer fighting for downtrodden people. You folks could be downtrodden one day — and in severe trouble. And you'll cry for a Lynne Stewart to come save you. But you'll be too late. SHAME ONE ALL OF YOU!! You are so ignorant it's disgusting.

I am delighted to learn the news of Ms. Stewart's 10 year sentence. It's gratifying when the system works.

Justice is justice, Lynn Steward was convicted of passing on information form a convicted mass murderer to a terrrorist intent on using such information to murder more all of us. This is called treason.__Special free get out of jail passes cannot be handed out justly to someone because he or she is "on" of you. If my own father whom I respect and care for hurts someone or breaks the law, I still beleive he should pay the consequences.
