It's Not A Time To Kill

If indeed we do have the actual killer,the time is what is prescribed for the charge. I'm not happy that an admitted killer has received a slap on the wrist, but neither am I pleased when gang members get off either. Some citizens want a justice system that they make the rules up as they go along. If the D.A's office settled for a second degree murder charge. They probably didn't have much of a case. We have yet to find a body, and they didn't have a witness. The description of how he killed him and disposed of the body, doesn't offer closure. It still doesn't produce a corpse. Some might say "why would he confess to a crime he didn't commit"? When faced with the alternative sentence. People confess to crimes they didn't commit everyday. Considering the racial climate in Memphis. A person on the wrong side of the fence could easily be convicted.

Look how the citizens have raised the level of this case to national prominence. Last I heard someone had called Jesse Jackson to intervene. Like what is he supposed to do about this? This is a race baiters smorgasbord. Let's see what the Black preachers will be talking about this Sunday? According to the anonymous witness, Mardis was seen driving the code enforcement truck with something in the passenger seat covered with a sheet. That doesn't even sound right. If this were the other way around, what would citizens say then? This wouldn't be enough evidence to satisfy them. They would swear this was a conspiracy against the Black man. The same loopholes and liberal judges that have repeatedly allowed criminals to go free. Don't disappear just because the defendant is White.

We better hope they don't start locking people up for saying stupid things. We will have to start building more jails. If Dale Mardis had kept his mouth closed. He could vey well be going free. What we should do is plan for the future. We can't change what has already been done. I sincerely hope nothing happens to make that niece have to eat her words. It would be ironic if she found herself in the same situation as the accused. In spite of emotions running high, this is not a time to kill.
