#MACourtFails - Where Is The Concern For Public Safety From Our AG and Legislature?
"I understand that that stuff can happen, you know. People get out. People do bad things. You can't control that, ultimately,"

-Attorney General Maura Healey, speaking in defense of Judge Feeley.
The #MACourtFails campaign was started to raise awareness about our failing courts and criminal justice reform system, and how our elected officials would rather pass laws restricting what law abiding people do, than address the actual causations of “gun violence”.
