Justice for the 96, justice96.com

I recently watched the ESPN 30 for 30 on the Hillsborough disaster of 1989. Towards the end, at the 25th annual memorial of the 96 deceased, the crowd of 30,000 begins to angrily chant, "JUSTICE! FOR THE 96!" and man what a powerful moment. What a powerful, beautiful human moment.

I believe it was this act that galvanized political figures to organize an independent panel to determine the truth.

The very truth that would bring justice and the long-awaited relief of some of the grief that haunted the victims of those who were affected.

So, justice96 will be a site dedicated to Acts of Injustice.

Content aggregation with a justiceboner-driven narrative.

However, the potential for witch hunts is too great if it's a purely community-driven website. Claims would have to be verified and independently investigated by admins of the site.
