It’s Not Nothing
The news has been out for about a day about the police who conspired to get 90-ish Kathryn Johnston on drug charges, then murdered her in a shower of gunfire, and finally conspired to cover it up by preying on yet another innocent person.
The first reaction, completely natural of course, is to think that perhaps justice will be done. But justice, in the most general sense, is the idea that everyone gets what they deserve. Kathryn Johnston didn’t deserve to die, so there’s no way for her to ever attain justice.
Billy elaborates all over that, for ya.
