No, Justice is not blind and nor is it always just.
It knows, as a reflection of the public weal that
within a population there are groups disadvantaged
through their own lack of integrity and the disinterest
of those not of their kind who view themselves as
victims feeling justified in a vituperative culture
of violence that mostly targets its own in murder
and mayhem, the spillover lapping at the edges of
the hated general public. Black Lives Matter, as an
example, but not to those inwardly turned in self
hating snarls of violence. Spite and hatred as the
most basic of human passions is infectious. When
a known felon in the grip of law and order resists
catapulting an arrest into manslaughter Black rage
erupts in alarmingly violent dimensions urging shame
and blame beyond their own communities for a man
has died not at the hands of his own but that of a
White community and a cry of 'defund police' echoes
across the world where in cities scattered everywhere
councils vote down police funding and crimes
of every dimension explode in prevalence for
there are insufficient forces to apprehend the
felons and a relaxed system of justice sees fit to
release violent offenders in recognition of their
inalienable human rights -- while the cities cower.
