“Concepts of justice must have hands and feet or they remain sterile abstractions. The hands and feet we need are efficient means and methods to carry out justice in every case in the shortest possible time and at the lowest possible cost.”

Knowing full well that Burger's concepts of justice requires a brutalizing army (local police to active military) to inflict his version of efficient means and methods in the shortest possible time and at the lowest possible cost means the here referenced justice has nothing to do with natural law, fair, or that which is right.

Even without knowing the context in which these words were spoken or written, Burger's yearning for the expediency of the guillotine seems evident. Such is an unfortunate attitude shared by too many of the Ruling Class. Ordinary prisoners in the world's #1 prison state are treated like animals because that's exactly what the rulers consider them to be. How ironic that theirs is the instinctual response of an animal, a vicious one at that, effectively cloaked by an empty guise of "justice."

Well said, Mann.

huh?
