How Prosecutorial Discretion Furthers Justice
How Prosecutorial Discretion Furthers Justice
The criminal laws define what constitutes criminal conduct. But prosecutors are the ones who decide which actions meet those definitions, who should actually be prosecuted and to what extent—and they have tremendous discretion in making these decisions.

Exposure to conspiracy theories has dramatic consequences
Exposure to conspiracy theories has dramatic consequences
The school massacre in Newtown was a government hoax designed to bolster gun control. The destruction of the Twin Towers on 9/11 was the result of a controlled demolition. Elvis faked his own death.
For every major event, there’s a conspiracy theory to explain it. And though the temptation is to treat it as harmless paranoia, a new study finds mere exposure to such information can have serious social consequences.

“Conspiracy Theory”: Foundations of a Weaponized Term | Global Research
“Conspiracy theory” is a term that at once strikes fear and anxiety in the hearts of most every public figure, particularly journalists and academics. Since the 1960s the label has become a disciplinary device that has been overwhelmingly effective in defining certain events off limits to inquiry or debate. Especially in the United States raising legitimate questions about dubious official narratives destined to inform public opinion (and thereby public policy) is a major thought crime that must be cauterized from the public psyche at all costs.

These Sovereign Citizens believe that they are the last line of patriot defense against the "jack booted thugs" of government tyranny.

LOCKPORT – A North Tonawanda mother of four admitted Thursday in Niagara County Court that she drove under the influence of alcohol in that city March 2, while all four of her children were in the car.
Note: Michelle Lorenc is not the first Niagara County (City of North Tonawanda) individual charged under Leandra's Law who was allowed to plead down. North Tonawanda High School teacher, Arthur Harack was allowed the same 'opportunity' in August 2012. Consequently, it leaves me wondering what event has to take place for the Court and/or Niagara County District Attorney's Office to finally begin holding accountable to the fullest extent those initially charged with Felony Driving While Intoxicated under the Child Passenger Protection Act known as Leandra's Law.
