Judicial Thugs Are Destroying Los Angeles Details
MY TURN The inherent power in being a judge has always attracted sadistic predators and Los Angeles is no exception.
Genesis 18:1–22:24 includes the story of Sodom and Gomorrah and their corrupt judges whose perfidy caused the cities’ destruction. As Midrash Pirkei Eliezer relates, Lot’s daughter was sentenced to death for giving bread to a poor person. She called out to God, who dispatched his investigator angels to scope out the situation. As we know, she was not crying wolf. After God found out that the four evil judges had corrupted the entire city, He (or She) sent fire and brimstone (whatever that is). Thus, perhaps our earliest political philosophy treatise addressed the destructive nature of a corrupt judiciary.
