A Corruption of Justice Primer

Guest Post: On Consent

by Boudica

“As my letter makes plain, Jamin was guilty of sexual behavior with a girl who was below the age of consent. She was underage. Our letter acknowledged fully that Jamin was guilty of criminal behavior, and we wanted him to pay the penalty for that criminal behavior, which was a species of statutory rape.” — Douglas Wilson Continue reading →

“Jamin has confirmed to me recently that — I asked him that question”

Jamin has confirmed to me recently that — I asked him that question — ‘Did Natalie know about it?’ According to Jamin, he said, ‘Yes, she knew — she knew all about it.’ She knew she was in a relationship with him, but did she know that this was a parent-approved relationship? Jamin would say ‘Yes.’

“victims . . . victims . . . victims”

When you have a situation like this, the court system has a policy of keeping victims’ names out of public knowledge to protect the names and reputations of victims. I would have announced the situation, if it was just Steven and no victims. . . . My interest is in keeping victims and their families protected.

On Repentance: The B.T.K. Killer & Steven Sitler

A Corruption of Justice Primer

“A repentant man who had done these things would evidence his repentance in his whole-hearted desire to be executed. . . . If he does not do these things, if his declared repentance is only an emotional sorrow that does not bear the marks of true repentance, then he should be excommunicated from his church.” —Douglas Wilson

“But when we are dealing with young children who are abused by adults . . . the penalty for those guilty of the crime should be death.”

Our civil law includes the category of statutory rape, which is certainly a biblical concept. If someone under the age of adult responsibility is forcibly taken away (whether for sexual purposes or not), the crime is a species of kidnapping, which in Scripture deserves the death penalty. Part of the reason why a society should have wise and godly men for judges is that they must determine in such cases whether the one raped is almost of age. But when we are dealing with young children who are abused by adults (pederasty, child porn, etc.) the penalty for those guilty of the crime should be death.

“Just Plain Greasy”

And the Roman Polanski affair is beyond creepy. All of Hollywood — including Woody Allen, who should have thought about it some more before lending his support — has come out in support of the talented perv.

The problem in these situations is not the individual hypocrisy or the individual capacity for sin and deception. I mean, as far as that is concerned, welcome to earth. The problem is the full-throated and open support for these men from a sub-culture that had previously raised moralistic posturing and ethical preening in front of the mirror to an art form.

In short, our entertainment culture is openly and unabashedly . . . greasy.

“In some places, the standards have simply collapsed.”

For multiple reasons, certain ethical standards which used to be taken for granted in the Christian world are no longer. Recent years have seen a terrible erosion in our ability to distinguish good from evil; in certain frightening ways, the ethical competence of the Christian world is frankly disintegrating. In some places, the standards have simply collapsed.

“Child Abuse” — Randy Booth

Child abuse and neglect comes in many forms: physical, sexual and emotional. It also ranges in degree, duration and affect. Most of us feel great sympathy and empathy for any child who is subject to any type of abuse or neglect as well as disgust and outrage toward those who commit such acts against innocent children. These defenseless and helpless little ones need to be rescued and loved.

“Bullying” — Randy Booth

Bullying is a cheap substitute for genuine authority. Real authority comes by acknowledging accountability to others, while the bully is reduced to self-authorization. Therefore, the bully’s harsh tyranny of the weak becomes his only way to bolster this fragile pretension.
