And Justice for all

As a child growing up in America, I recited the pledge of allegiance many times believing just what it said. I won't bore you with the complete pledge except to say the final four words , And Justice for All. As I grew , I could clearly see that no there is not really justice for everybody as it turns out, you get what you pay for like everything else in America. Poor people get arrested and incarcerated at higher rates than more affluent groups and Blacks at the highest rates of any of the groups. Americas prison systems are full of many drug users from all of the ethnic groups but with blacks holding the highest percentage. Do they warrant this distinction based on merit, hardly. The media , courts and school system, have all had a heavy hand attaching blame and fear for one group over all others. Young black males . Why are they feared at such unrealistic rates. Now in the wake of yet another killing and trial in Florida of another unarmed black American teenage male ,by an armed white middle aged male we can see another pattern clearly emerging.No Rights for you. In this latest killing, it was observed by many that the defendant would be found guilty of the crime as it seemed there was plenty of evidence supporting this judgement.Not this time either! Just as in another publicly viewed trial last year in Florida where an innocent young black kid was gunned down for having some candy and carrying it at night. Last night's verdict came without any punishment for the accused based on the killing of a young black male , who had been listening to music. The count in the action that would of held the defendant accountable for the killing, was declared a mistrial by the judge, when the jury was unable to come back with a verdict based on the evidence. Oh sure the defendant was found guilty of other charges in the procedure, and will be going to prison for the rest of his life but there was no Justice at all for the dead child or his parents. Had however the circumstances been turned around with the white man being killed by the young black male , there wouldn't of been any question about guilt. Now another all to common side bar. Sadly it seems some twelve hours after the verdict was read on national T.V. there is no story or any findings on Yahoo as to the guilt of the defendant or if anything had even ever took place ....Sorry Jordan
