She is not wrong.

Slavery of African Americans, the killing of Native Americans, Union Busting, The Chinese Exclusion Act, Prohibition of Drinking, Order 9066, The House Un-American Activities Committee, the war on Drugs, the War on terror, The Patriot Act, The Citizens United Ruling, the Muslim ban, the Zero Tolerance policy towards immigrants, The "Supreme" Court's ruling on Abortion and the so-called war on wokeness by scum like Ron DeSantis, they are far too many examples of how much crap is going in America.

They all have one thing in common.

American law calls(ed) this legal and has had a history of disregarding the rights of certain people to favor those who can hardly be called people has become commonplace.

This is why I say to you the American legal system this:

You will never get me to obey you or respect you until you have been held accountable for the crimes you have committed against the United States of America and it's people.

When I was growing up in Arden Hills from 1989 to 2007, I was wanting to be a good neighbor. I thought the community didn't bother me and my family because we minded our business and they minded their's.

That wasn't the case.

It turned out that the community hated us because we are working class types and not privileged white trash like them.

They criticized us for not having the lawn constantly mowed. They criticized us for having the garbage/recycling cans out in the open rather than in the garage. They criticized us for not raking the leaves properly during the autumn and leaving bald spots on the lawn during the spring. They criticized us for not trimming the hedges. They criticized us for not taking care of our house and going as far as saying our living situation was deplorable.

They criticized, criticized and criticized. They did NOTHING to help.

When the local Sheriff's department got involved and started looking around our house, we did not argue against them doing so. For we had nothing to hide.

We told them about our situation and how we didn't have enough time or money to handle all the problems involving our standard of living.

But they did not care. They proved it by saying that if we did nothing to improve that our house would be condemned.

You, the American legal system had me convinced that you did not care about people like me and my family. That you only cared about yourselves and entitled scum like those lived in Arden Hills.

Yes, the other crap you have done as stated above at the beginning have factored into my life as well, but not as personally as the reasons I have stated.

When it came to your war on drugs, you destroyed a generation of Americans. Why should people who want to get high be considered worse than a sex offender or a murderer? Better yet how is it that a poor black person sees a lot of time inside prison for drug-related charges, but a privileged white boy doesn't?

You lied to my generation of Americans just to prove your loyalty to white privilege and your racism towards people who are not.

Then of course you have people who need them for medicinal purposes. How are they bad people compared to Big Pharm, that raise prices to ridiculous ranges, making it harder for average people to afford it?

You lied to my generation of Americans just to protect big business.

____________________________________________________

In the end American Law, I don't need to do a damn thing you say. You betrayed the country.

You keep protecting the rights of "people" that fly swastikas, confederate flags and pro-Trump crap.

You coddle scum like Kyle Rittenhouse, Ethan Couch, and Brock Turner.

You protected cops who killed people like Philando Castille and Michael Brown.

You have a history of brutality and contempt for liberals and you have chosen to learn nothing from such mistakes.

Forget going abroad to fight terrorism.

You, the American legal system and those who represent the law or obey it blindly are the terrorists.
