One of the foundational principles of our Republic is justice. And not simply justice, but justice delivered in a timely manner.

Part of the equation in any law enforcement investigation is the question, “when do we stop gathering evidence and apply justice?” One of the key variables in that equation is quantifying how much damage will be done to the victims by continuing to observe the crimes instead of acting on the crimes that have already been committed.

I’m not saying that decision is an easy one to make, but what I am saying is that when you publicly declare things like “we caught them all”, “we have it all”, etc, etc, it’s not unreasonable for the victims being harmed by the criminal’s actions to expect, and even demand, the swift administration of justice.

You can call it dooming, you can ban people left and right, but in the end, justice improperly delayed is a crime in and of itself. And it may be time to start asking ourselves, “if those who had the ability and authority to administer justice while holding the levers of power failed to do so, what is the next step in this process?”.

We’ve tried electing leaders we thought would administer justice. So far, that hasn’t worked out. It’s only natural to ask the question, “what next?”. It’s the question our Founding Fathers had to ask, and it’s the question every liberty loving human being has had to ask as they try to free themselves from the tyranny imposed upon them by wicked, conspiring men and women throughout history.

The precipice, indeed.
