Eye for an Eye

I am so disappointed in the recent turn of events that is happening in our society. Especially, here in Nola the crimes that are occurring on a daily basis is out if control. And it’s not just here but, it’s everywhere. What the hell is wrong with these low life’s running amuck, shootings, killings, theft, and rape. A local chef was held at gunpoint, when asked for cash he was shot 3 times and left for dead. We have police officers milking the system out of money, raping individuals ( man, woman, and child ), basically breaking the law and getting away with it. Random killings happening because the accused are supposably mentally incompetent. There are mothers and fathers killing their children and loved ones. For unknown reasons or whatever it maybe, how is it that these people are not suffering the consequences. I am outraged because why aren’t there more people done with these criminals ruining lives, when will it end.  Where is the justice in these crimes, how is it that we have this so-called judicial system and these criminals are not paying the price. I used to think our laws were here to help and protect those in need but just the opposite its helping those criminals go free. We as a society need to stand together and make a change and make a difference. We need to stand tall and show that these crimes will not be tolerated. Maybe my views and opinions differ from most, but I believe an “eye for an eye”. Why should the good suffer because of the bad. I feel strongly that if you commit a crime: ex.)  kill someone, and go to prison, you should be held accountable for your actions, serve the fullest and maximum time allowed. You turned your life around, well good for you, but you killed someone, you took someone’s life away, so you deserve to not have a life. Prisoners want Internet, email, candy, mail, and t.v., I call bullshit, why should you have any type of life’s necessities. You did the crime so you deserve to do the time! All of it!

Scandalous

I remember when I was a child growing up that you didn’t have the scandalous reports on cheating, affairs, and sexting being reported 24/7. How is that not to far ago our parents were happier, people believed in love and marriage. Now who is to say that love and marriage last a lifetime, I mean we are lucky to make it to 10 years. I remember when the 25 years of marriage was the Silver Wedding Anniversary. Now you’re lucky to make it ten years, that shouldn’t even be a Silver anniversary in this day and age, but it is. How is it that the Jesse James, The Arnold, Tiger Woods, Dave Letterman, and Eliot Splitzer (the list can go on forever) are public figures can justify these affairs, hookers, secret love child, with a slap on the wrist. Where is the remorse and not just for the viewers eyes, but the real true remorse for hurting their wives, children, and significant others. The media goes overboard but I too, am at fault by reading these headlines, to glorify their horrible actions, demeans the nature of faithfulness. Just because you fall in love and decide to marry, doesn’t mean it’s just for a few years until you grow tired from it for you to stray away. Marriage is a commitment between two people, the vows of matrimony : “ promise to be true, in good times and in bad, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, will love and honor, all the days of my life“. Wake up and take responsibility for your actions, we deserve honor and respect, not deceit and lies. Can we move forward to regaining control of our hearts and live from until death do us part.
