bias law


"...If you had been on that jury, son, and eleven other boys like you, Tom would have been a free man..." This quote says that the law can be bias. The people that enforce the law can be bias such as in a white man v.s. a black man, the white man wins or if it's a man v.s. a woman a man win usually would win sense women don't have that status of equality. In Pennsylvania a woman got blamed for her own rape. This usually happens because men say things like "she wanted some because of the way she was dressed." The fact that women don't get the justice they should is wrong because rape is something that can ruin a person life. Also men rape does happen but since people see men as a dominant gender so they don't even care. The law isn't just bias, it can also fail to do its job. Johanna Orozco was shot in the face by her former boyfriend. This happened because the system wasn't able to keep him in a juvenile correction center.  I personally think the system can be unfair because of the people that enforcement. We have people that are racist such as Chief Lopez in Durham in Jesus Huerta was claimed to kill himself in the back of a police car while handcuff.

  1. I wasn't really expecting those connections from the quote you chose but you managed to make it work well.
