A need for reform
The legal system is obsolete and needs to be changed.
The legal system in the United States is the most laughably pathetic institution in the whole world, next to that of Saudi Arabia and North Korea.
The mentally ill, people of color, those of low income, immigrants, non-heterosexuals, women, non-Christians, the list of people that the American legal system has a long list of failing people in this country due to abuse of power by the police, the courts and even politicians.
It needs to stop.
That is why I am writing a list of ideas of what legal reforms should be considered and made into law.
Author's Note: I am not a legal scholar or legal expert in any way, shape or form.
I am a very dissatisfied citizen of this country, and I feel I have a duty to promote change.

The Kyle Rittenhouse Law
Members of the Kenosha Police Department failed to stop Kyle Rittenhouse from fleeing the scene of the crime after he had committed the crime of shooting unarmed, peaceful protesters.
Therefore, the families of the victims (if not the victims themselves too) and the protest group should be able to sue any police department that allows this to happen.
Patients First Law
The various states throughout the country with their anti-abortion laws have endangered the lives of many women and girls throughout the nation, some even resulting in death.
Then of course you have families that are prepared to sacrifice their children because they believe that "faith" will cure them.
With that being said, the idea for this law would be where medical practitioners can refuse to obey the law if that law says let people die.
Not asking medical people to ignore their Hippocratic Oath. Just want them to save lives

The Bruce Schroeder Law
The name of the idiot Judge who was biased against the prosecution in the case against Kyle Rittenhouse and would not even let the prosecutor call the victims of Kyle Rittenhouse, victims.
Therefore, any judge who is that biased can find themselves up for disbarment and maybe even incarceration.
The War on Drugs Reparation Law
America's war on drug was the greatest scam and lie since the days of the Red Scare.
It wound up creating more economic and social problems.
Economics because it unfairly targeted people of low income while protecting those of a higher income. Those who did do the time got criminal records and could not find legitimate, stable work, thus making them a possible repeat offender.
Socially because it targeted African Americans, Latinos proving how racist it has been. It has also unfairly treated drug addiction properly by criminalizing drug users rather than treating their addictions as an illness.
Those who have suffered this injustice should not only be allowed to have their records expunged, but should also be allowed to sue the state for such unlawful confinement.

Juries Deserve to Know Law
How knowledge are juries of the Constitution? Civil Liberties? Human Rights? This is something that juries should know.
Problem is, if I were to hand out potential juries' copies of booklets on the US Constitution, Civil Liberties or even Human Rights, I would probably be arrested and charged for jury tampering, when how would that be jury tampering?
It's one thing for the court to not want to have a jury that's biased towards the Prosecution/Defense and maybe even the court, but there is no reason for juries to be too stupid (if not to selfish) to know that both sides and even the court may be in the wrong.
The Anti-Patriot Law
The US Patriot Act was another shameful moment in the history of the USA when the 44th President of The United States George W. Bush Jr. signed this into law just after 9/11 terrorist attack.
This means the feds can monitor people or even search places without a warrant.
Many groups who dared to disagree with the Bush Administration over the Illegal Invasion of Iraq were unfairly targeted by this.
The feds are still using such unethical means to search and seize, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
It was a feeble attempt to locate terrorists on American soil, when the only real terrorists were the feds.
I am proposing this law idea a means of combatting the Patriot Act, because it clearly isn't going to be abolished anytime soon, let alone those who invoke such a thing be sent to prison.
The idea is for anyone who has been a victim of the so-called Patriot Act can sue the feds for this betrayal of what America is supposed to stand for.

She is not wrong. Slavery of African Americans, the killing of Native Americans, Union Busting, The Chinese Exclusion Act, Prohibition of Drinking, Order 9066, The House Un-American Activities Committee, the war on Drugs, the War on terror, The Patriot Act, The Citizens United Ruling, the Muslim ban, the Zero Tolerance policy towards immigrants, The "Supreme" Court's ruling on Abortion and the so-called war on wokeness by scum like Ron DeSantis, they are far too many examples of how much crap is going in America.

‘An Incomprehensible Nightmare’: Grief Turns to Anger Over Swiss Bar Fire as Le Constellation Owner Arrested
New Year’s Eve is meant to symbolize hope, renewal, and fresh beginnings. In the Swiss Alpine resort town of Crans-Montana, however, the arrival of 2026 became a moment of unimaginable horror. A devastating fire at the popular nightclub Le Constellation claimed 40 lives and injured more than a hundred others, transforming a place of music and celebration into the epicenter of one of Switzerland’s deadliest peacetime disasters in decades. What followed was a wave of national mourning — and then something more powerful. As details emerged, grief began to turn into anger, and a collective question echoed across Switzerland and beyond: How could this have happened? A Night That Changed Everything Shortly after midnight on January 1, Le Constellation was packed with young people celebrating the New Year. Witnesses recall a festive atmosphere, champagne flowing, music pulsing, and crowds pressed close together. Within minutes, everything changed. Investigators believe that sparkler-style fireworks attached to champagne bottles ignited flammable soundproofing material on the ceiling. Flames spread rapidly through the confined basement space, filling the venue with smoke and heat before many people could react. Panic followed. Survivors described a desperate rush for exits, poor visibility, and crushing crowds as people tried to escape. Some broke windows. Others were trapped. Emergency services arrived quickly, but the fire’s speed and intensity left little chance for many inside. By dawn, the scale of the tragedy was clear. A Community in Mourning Crans-Montana, better known for ski holidays and postcard-perfect views, became a town united by sorrow. Many of the victims were teenagers and young adults, some as young as 14. Families from Switzerland, France, and Italy gathered in hospitals, churches, and temporary shelters, searching for answers and clinging to hope. A national day of mourning was declared. Bells rang across the country. Vigils were held, candles lit, and names read aloud. Swiss leaders were joined by foreign dignitaries in remembrance ceremonies, underscoring the international impact of the loss. But even as memorials continued, troubling information began to surface. From Grief to Outrage Public emotion shifted dramatically when authorities revealed that Le Constellation had not undergone a mandatory fire safety inspection since 2019, despite regulations requiring regular checks for venues hosting large crowds. For many families, this disclosure felt like a second shock. How could a nightclub operate for years without inspection? Who was responsible for ensuring safety standards were met? And why were obvious risks — such as indoor fireworks — allowed at all? The mayor of Crans-Montana acknowledged failures in oversight, admitting that inspections simply had not taken place. That admission sparked widespread anger, not only toward the bar’s owners but also toward local authorities and regulatory bodies. On social media and in public forums, the tone changed from mourning to demand: someone must be held accountable. The Arrest That Changed the Investigation That demand intensified when Swiss prosecutors announced the arrest of Jacques Moretti, co-owner of Le Constellation. Authorities placed him in pre-trial detention, citing concerns that he could leave the country and potentially evade justice. Prosecutors are now investigating possible charges including involuntary homicide, negligence, and causing bodily harm. His wife and business partner was questioned separately and placed under house arrest. For many families, the arrest offered a measure of reassurance — a sign that the tragedy was being taken seriously. For others, it raised further questions about how responsibility would ultimately be shared between private owners and public institutions. Voices of the Survivors Amid legal developments, survivors continue to process their trauma. Some remain hospitalized with severe burns and smoke inhalation injuries. Others are physically safe but psychologically scarred. Several have described recurring nightmares, survivor’s guilt, and a sense of disbelief that they lived while friends did not. Parents of victims have spoken of empty bedrooms, unfinished dreams, and futures erased in minutes. Their testimonies have become a powerful reminder that behind every statistic is a human life — and that accountability is not abstract, but deeply personal. A National Reckoning on Safety The fire has triggered a sweeping review of fire safety standards across Switzerland. Authorities have launched inspections of nightclubs, bars, and event spaces nationwide. Indoor pyrotechnics are being restricted or banned, and enforcement mechanisms are under renewed scrutiny. Yet critics argue that inspections alone are not enough. They are calling for: Clearer responsibility between municipalities and venue owners Transparent public records of safety inspections Stronger penalties for non-compliance Faster intervention when risks are identified If a disaster of this scale can happen in a country renowned for precision and regulation, many ask, what does that mean for public safety elsewhere? An Incomprehensible Nightmare — and a Turning Point The phrase repeated by grieving families — “an incomprehensible nightmare” — captures the emotional weight of the tragedy. But as legal proceedings move forward, that nightmare may also become a turning point. The Le Constellation fire has exposed systemic weaknesses, forced uncomfortable truths into the open, and sparked a nationwide conversation about responsibility, prevention, and justice. Whether those conversations lead to lasting reform remains to be seen. What is certain is this: the 40 lives lost on that New Year’s night will not be forgotten — and for many, justice will mean ensuring that such a tragedy never happens again.
