LAW AND ORDER IN VIRGINIA HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH JUSTICE By William Thorpe

Once again reactionary Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares has the ear of Governor Glenn Youngkin in true puppet master fashion as he pursues his guile ambition of succeeding Youngkin, in that tiredly exploited law and order gambit. What the classic adage about "imitation" evidenced by Jason Miyares, law and order gambit conveniently omits and doesn't say is, it induces feeble mindlessness, because that's what virulently ails Attorney General Miyares by his consuming and singular focus of travestying, that most basic and minimal idea of 'Justice' in Virginia, that of rehabilitation. Only a megalomaniac, Nah a crass idealist would presume justice absolutism, as positive governance, because that is exactly what Attorney General Miyares has doggedly exhibited with his manic opposition to one of the most minimalist and low hanging fruit affirmations of justice, Earned Sentence Credits for the Virginia prisoner as pursued by certain practical Virginia Democrats who understand that if incentives are a primary motive force for Virginia's political-economy and its capitalism, as constructor and architect of the Virginia personhood and the Virginia voter, who voted for it, then applying that same incentive dynamic rehabilitatively as function of Virginia's justice system is positive governance. Okay,this is what Attorney General Jason Miyares, is demonstrating that he's incapable of grasping, which is the human condition is speculative, as defined by "freewill".Therefore under the governance logic all "reforms" are speculatively positive as such opposition is in principle reactionary and philistine. Virginians voted for much necessary and serious reforms of The Justice and Prison system which in 2020, Democrats to a degree delivered by revising aspects of prison sentence mitigative credits, specifically, The Earned Sentence Credits, which as a tool would incentivize prisoner rehabilitation by release from prison. In 2021, Republicans gained control of part of Virginia government and their initial acts were to scapegoat prisoners, rehabilitation and the incentivized reforms of the system by scaling back the reforms. Which The Virginia Supreme Court upbraided Attorney General Jason Miyares over the offices presented theories attacking The Earned Sentence Credit rehabilitation incentive. Now here we go, that with this 2024 legislative session, we again find Attorney General Miyares, intoxicated by his ambition and under its idealistic influence petulantly scheming to undermine prisoner rehabilitation by opposing the earned sentence credits incentive. Jason Miyares has exploited the worst of human behavior from the few to advance the short sightedness of his ambition and we don't indict him for it, because such is human nature, history is replete with it, our work however is to expose its antithetical staleness.
