We need a real life crime fighter and champion for Justice. His name should be “Der Schnitter.”

1946 Schnitter Tod by Ludwig Rumpelhardt

It seems that those who are openly and brazenly lying, cheating, stealing, defrauding and otherwise being a cancer on society are often being ignored by our justice system for at least the past decade, with the injustice seemingly getting worse every week.

In an ideal world of comic books and super heroes, a figure would emerge to do justice where justice has failed.

“Der Schnitter” is my imagined and wished-for answer to the craziness, corruption, racism and hate, the blatant lies and injustice perpetrated mostly by rich, white, privileged old men over the past days, months and years. It is time for justice to strike them hard, It Is Time For “DER SCHNITTER!”

Think of “Der Schnitter” as a vigilante like “The Phantom.”

Where our laws fail the public, “Der Schnitter” will spring into action. He will dispatch those who openly and unabashedly flout our laws, those who think that they are above the laws and those who think that laws are for other people to obey. Most of all, he will get those who eluded their just punishment by means of legal technicalities, corruption, bribery, coercion, blackmail, open or veiled threats, interfering with witnesses or tampering with the courts.

Following my list of potential “Schnitterati.” You may have your own opinion on who should be on the “Schnitter List” and I do not claim that my list is complete by any stretch of the imagination:

Donald Trump, Don Trump Jr., Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Rudy Giuliani, all House Republicans who voted against certifying the 2020 election, all the insurrectionists of January 6, 2021, all Covid-19 deniers, Toyota USA Executives who gave money to the insurrection caucus, all Senate Republicans who voted against a bipartisan commission to investigate the insurrection events of January 6, 2021, all Republicans on any level who support and spread the Big Lie of a stolen election, anyone who supports the new voter suppression laws that are springing up in many states around our nation, any Supreme Court Justice who supports the aforementioned voter suppression laws, everyone in the NRA, white supremacists, fascists and Nazi sympathizers, QAnon supporters, the Koch group, Bill Cosby, Bill Barr, Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon, Ohio governor Mike DeWine…

“Der Schnitter” will be busy working down this list but he is diligent and unstoppable. Sooner or later he will get every single one of the scum. That is not a threat, it is an inescapable, irrefutable fact.
