Letha Injection: Two Wrongs do not make a Right

I'm sure that at some point in our lives we've said to ourselves that this or that person doesn't deserve to live without actually meaning it. But with the Justice System we have now we can't say that anymore. And if you do say it be prepared to live knowing that you've sent someone to their death.

We are suppose to have the best justice system in the world, Right? How can this be, when our system is sending teenagers to their deaths? Why? Because someone says they are not worthy of life based upon their crime?

We have a lot of rights granted to us by the Constitution, but There is one right they don't give us, "The Right to Live".

There is no such a thing as justice anymore. Isn't justice where we right wrongs? Instead of justice we have Lethal Justice. we are now righting wrongs by sending people to their deaths. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Along with our lethal justice we have lethal Injection as our method of murder which makes the system all that more dangerous. Because society sees it as a more humane way of executing us. Humane or "not", its still murder.

If you can picture the situation, the state is the vet doctor and we are the animal that no one cares about and must be put down. He are already portrayed as ravenous animals so why not put us down like one, right?! I Wrong! We are human beings... some of us such as myself were teenagers when we were arrested.

When does a persons life become worthless within the justice system? It's when we are in the hands of goal oriented prosecutors and judges who enforce the Lethal Justice.

Wf need to stop focusing on killing the condemned and focus on rehabilitation. Our lives are worth saving.

Thank You,

Matt Hyde
