Judges glaring down - Mancini

 Francis Mancini's column today made me reflect on the image of

    the JUDGE GLARING DOWN FROM THE BENCH : You are a man of no great social

    prominence charged with rape. You  deny the crime and show no remorse

    for the logical reason that you think yourself innocent. The sanctimonious

    judge finds you insolent and despicable and is determined to make you

    pay for it. The judge -drunk with power - imagines that he has a divine

    mission to smite the wicked.

         We know now a little more about those traffic court judges . How

    much damage can be done by arrogance combined with incompetence ! I

    have had just very limited experience with them. But what classless

    sloppy BUMS !

         My observation is that everywhere entrenched power is corrupt. Nine

    out of ten unions in this country are run by Johnny Friendly types .

    The movie " On the Waterfront " is  rated up there with the best. Sometimes

    Hollywood tells the truth !

         The mighty fall when simple people begin to question their legitimacy :

     " You're no good, dirt rotten, dime store THUG ! And I'm proud what I

    did to you "  ( Marlon Brando line )

        Lately I see the Johnny Friendly mug everywhere !
