Law and the disturbed

Every once in a while -- well two or three times a week -- I get a lengthy rambling email from a pseudo named email source talking about some injustice in the justice system.

I got one today -- it went on for at least four typed pages.

These emails usually don't make a lot of sense. The one I received today is typical -- I read it over once, and again, and could not figure out what the concern was.

The email seemed to focus on the hearing judge's physical health -- something quite irrelevant.

So why did I trouble to read the email twice -- surely it was just the ramblings of the deranged?

Well, sometimes the deranged have suffered an injustice. Indeed, although my involvement has seldom proved happy, I have seen directly how the mentally unstable are more likely to be abused than others.

It's a bit like the old joke, "just because you're paranoid doesn't mean you don't have (real) enemies".

Today, though, I could not even figure out the complaint.
