Was justice served?
Can a simple act of the need to provide for his family when sitting in a house with no lights or water be good or evil? When you think of racism, something that comes to mind is when you see someone else of another race getting discriminated against because of their skin. Because of this act, this family was wrongfully evicted from a white neighborhood. Our Lord made everyone equal. Racism should be illegal. His family had no place to go. Something had to be done.
A father’s parenting style is beneficial for a child’s physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral development. What type of fatherly support will his children have now? Instead of a life sentence, why not an opportunity to correct what has been done? Kwasi McKinney, a father who was actively involved every day in his children’s lives, was sentenced to 154 years.
Having been incarcerated for a non-drug-related crime, this father has been given a label by the justice system, and it is called a felony. After many failed attempts to obtain employment, he was forced to hear over and over again, “We don’t hire people with felonies.”
Serving justice should not become a personal satisfaction, to be boosted on and bragged about. Yes, he made an egregious error in decision making. Why a harsh and hopeless sentence? What wouldn’t you do for your children? Was justice really served? I am not feeling it was with this.
