National Crime Victims’ Rights Week 2008: Justice for Victims. Justice for All.
By the Wright County Sheriff’s Office
Americans believe in justice for all. Yet to achieve justice for all, we must seek justice for victims of crime. Victims want offenders held accountable for their crimes. And they want our nation to honor their rights, protect their safety, and help them rebuild their lives. April 13-19 is National Crime Victims’ Rights Week- a time to improve our community’s response to victims. Victims may need compensation for their losses, a chance to be heard in court, or neighbors who understand that crime can happen to anyone. Enforcing victims’ rights protects victims, enhances public safety, and fosters public confidence in our criminal justice system.

Forty years ago, I was two days old. Of course, I have no direct memories of Dr. Martin Luther King, the Baptist pastor who accomplished so much through peaceful means during turbulent times for our country. But as was said tonight during an interview with one of Dr. King’s friends “You can kill the dreamer, but you can’t kill the dream.” Let that be so.

Here are some quotes from Dr. King worth repeating:
“A riot is at bottom the language of the unheard.”
“A nation or civilization that continues to produce soft-minded men purchases its own spiritual death on the installment plan.”
“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.”
