FUCK TEXAS. A LIST OF THINGS THAT COME FROM TEXAS: 1. THE BUSH FAMILY 2. REPUBLICAN KNUCKLEFUCKS 3. THE TEXAS RANGERS 4. THIS CASE Which I can even tell is a gross mistrial and I'm not even going into this field. Hurray. Justice is supposed to be blind, but if you've got a certain amount of money/are a certain color, she'll lift her blindfold a bit.
The sad thing is there are a lot of these DNA-exoneration type cases here in Georgia, it seems. All motivated by racism, fears that "the big hypersexual dangerous black man" raped so and so when really it was someone else, etc. etc. It's just another way that the sexuality of black men is socially controlled and oh there I go down the Sex and Society path.
The worst thing is that the people who most likely did it were a coworker of the poor man and the coworker's friend. A third coworker saw the girl get dragged away by the other two, but did nothing to help. He was one of the people intimidated and beat up, and he was also one of the people who testified on Brandley's behalf when they went to court to get a new trial, even though the bastards in the town had him so scared that he lied under oath twice before. Like I said, I know I'll have to suck it up eventually, but AUGH. Shit like that makes me doubt my faith in humanity. Fuckers.
But good things come from Texas! The one that springs immediately to mind? Our beloved, permanently slash-goggled, original Ruinator saraannette!
UGH, don't read John Grisham's The Innocent Man. I read it for Corrections class, and it fucking pissed me off. The fuckers in Oklahoma are just as bad as Texas. OH LOOK WHERE OKLAHOMA'S LOCATED, QUELLE SURPRISE.
Another good thing from Texas is my sister, who teaches special needs kids in Wichita Falls.
Yeah, good point. What the fuck, people, what the fuck.
Props to your sister for being awesome. Maybe I should try and make a list of all the good things that come from Texas, to help remind me that the state is not entirely made of racist epic fail. :)
Texas seems to be one of the worst offenders of going after innocent people for stupid reasons. But every state has similar stories. One that upsets me the worst took place in Illinois. A mother is on death row for supposedly killing her 12 yr old son. The police decided that since statistically children are killed by parents and she was a single mom, it had to be her. Mind you, there was evidence that someone had been in the house, and the best, a man arrested for a very similar crime in Ohio, confessed to doing the Illinois murder too. But since she is "white trash" she JUST HAD to have done the murder, so there she sits on death row. She wasn't even allowed to go to her son's funeral!
*shakes head* People suck so badly sometimes. There needs to be stiffer punishment and shit for people who are supposed to UPHOLD the law, but abuse the living fuck out of it to suit their ideals and notions of what people are supposed to be like.
I propose public executions as that stiffer punishment. A lot of the people who are assholes like that pretty much just need to be shot. We take them out of the gene pool, we're making a good start.
It makes me embarassed to be from the same country as those guys. However, by going into Computer Forensics, hopefully I can work at undoing damage done by shit like this, and maybe even keep it from happening! GARCIA POWER! ROFLMAO!
