Restoring Reason

On June 28, 2009, a grave miscarriage of justice occurred. A group of bar patrons became enraged that they should be held accountable to the same standards as all other bar patrons throughout the state of Texas. Activists, some who were patrons, but many who were not, set out to create a propaganda campaign to grab national media and political attention. They sought to use an ordinary bar check as a platform to advance an unrelated agenda. Many well-meaning individuals, believing that they were throwing their support behind an engine seeking to further gay rights, were instead sucked into a whirlpool of misinformation.

As a result, nine honorable commissioned peace officers came to be the target of public outcry. The group of activists and their followers who coalesced against these officers did not come together based on righteous fact, however. Instead, they fed on hearsay-based hysteria, assumptions and flat-out fabrications. While the officers, whose livelihoods hang in the balance, eagerly await the conclusion of various investigations, the voices of those who would seek to destroy them has reached a fever pitch. It’s time to bring that pitch back down to a low rumble.

There are several main tenets of American jurisprudence. They are that:

• there is an assumption of innocence until guilt is proven;
  
• there is an opportunity for the accused to face their accuser;
• there is a guarantee that due process of the law will allow for methodical investigations, without regard to passage of time.

After the bar check conducted at the Rainbow Lounge, activists and their followers began an immediate outcry for apologies, punishment and a swift end to investigations. This outcry assumes guilt, is fueled by those who accuse but have no basis to do so, and seeks to limit investigations in favor of forced findings.

This site seeks to unwind this travesty by relying upon fact, legal standards and acceptable practices, thereby restoring reason and ending the insanity.
