BRAINSTORMING ABOUT JUSTICE

MS. KRISTY'S HOMEWORK.

One day my family and I, were in the living room watching TV. Suddenly my mom started to talk about an injustice. She was referencing to one of her friend. My mom said that the police made an injustice about one son of her friend. We were intrigued and ask her - how come?

She said that one night the son of her friend was hanging out with his friends. That night, they were driving one of his friend's car by all the Detroit's streets. They were driving so fast and with a louder music. Suddenly this guy ask to his friends - why they were acting like crazy people. At the moment no one of them answered him.
Later on one of them just told him - you are with us and you have to support all that we are doing or something bad can happen to you.

He couldn't do anything and he felt pressure by his friends. He didn't unterstand why his friends were talking to him like that. After a few minutes later, he noticed that they were on drugs.
He had a bad feelings and he felt that the worst thing could happend to him. And he wasn't wrong, after of many hours doing that, the police got the report that some gansters were making problems by all the streets. The police started looking for them, and later on they were caught. There was five people in the car, and the police notice that four of them were on drugs. Then the police started to inspention all the car and for their surprise, they were carring drugs.

The guy just got in shock, and he didn't understand why his friends didn't tell him anything. The police took them to jail, they were interroget. The judge found them guilty, this guy fought for his rights argumenting that he was innocent and that he didn't know about the drugs. But the judge didn't believe him. He never found his innoccent, so he went to jail and he pass five years in there. He was a U.S resident and he lost all the rights of this country. After the five years in jail, he was sent to Mexico.

In conclusion, I don't know if this guy was really innocent or guilty. But, I can say that there are many cases similars to this. About this cases, is going to be always the debate between justice and injustice.

  1. This is an interesting story, Alfredo, but what does justice or injustice mean to you? Why is it (or isn't it) important to you? That is what I want to read in your essay!
