In their opinion, the more they defend their actions, the more offended the people that demonized them become. These people who put them there do what they do for their kicks. The press in many capital case are "closet sadists" and want the public to behave in the same way.
In my opinion, Colt and Paul Henry could be my age before they ever see the light of day. It is just the way of the world. It is how it was meant to be for the Godless, Heathen Society that we all live in. It is one that defends lowlifes and drug dealers. It is the one that demonize the person just because they are a little different or does not have enough money to defend themselves.
The prosecution and the family of the victim simply refuse any form of forgiveness unless it involves the death of the criminal. And in their world they do not give a damn about the age of the crook, they want them locked up forever and ever and ever. They want them to die in prison no matter what. They simply do not care, Melissa. They just do not care. They want to ruin a life that has just begun. To them, these kids are throwaway kids.
I do not want to see that thing that is on MSNBC. It will not change a thing for Colt or Paul, period. It only makes people rail more for punitive laws to lock them up and throw away the key. Only through the courts and the ballot box, will we ever change the system.
If their is a judge or a peace officer who support an idea we hate in our location, one should heavily support their opponent. If we have a legislator who cannot do what we want the him/her do to change our lives, we find someone else. Politicians will listen only when they come close to losing their jobs.
But the public is being brainwashed by the so-called media. What difference is this going to make if they cannot hear us over the shouting of the TV or radio?
