By a US death row prisoner
How do people end up on death row? Many would answer this question a million ways. Problems with family, the way you are raised, being poor, drugs etc. There is pressure upon the president. The way they run this country, there is not one rich person on death row. Everyone on death row is from a poor lifestyle.
Drugs are the main reason — guns next. Drugs make you do anything. If you are a user and addicted, you will do anything to obtain drugs. No matter who you hurt — or kill.
Everyone has a gun and sleeps with it — eats with it. People, young people, think it's cool. People cannot get a decent job. They are not able to go to college. When they are cut off from welfare social security, the high cost of living, and having no education or job, they are forced to go out and rob, steal, kill and get the big fast money.
Governors and presidents promise to help these people, but after they are elected they turn their backs on poor class people. Rich people get richer and the poor get poorer.
Racism plays a part too. You have to blame the leaders that run this country. Drugs come from overseas. How? The president controls the airways, ships and trains, etc. Who is bringing it in? Why is there no crack or drugs in the rich communities? Because they are putting it in the poor neighbourhoods and the drugs are a form of control. If people are so poor, where do all these drugs and guns come from?
The people in the government, in the White House, the police, etc. — all have a hand in this fast-growing money industry. Many policemen have two homes, cars, trucks — and they don't earn the kind of money to afford these things. They sell the dope. Get too close to them and they kill to shut people up — and set up others to take the fall.
Also, they put the drugs on the street and make money — then they bust a person, take the drugs, cut a deal with someone and have them to put it back on the streets.
It is all a game. The police control it — but they cannot control guns and the drugs that are stolen from them. These drugs are fixed to make them powerful — more expensive! Drugs — jobs — guns is why. They cannot control what the drugs do to people. Innocent people get caught in the middle. Some of the guilty escape. Even the death penalty — they are getting rich off this, too, at the expense of poor people's deaths.
Drugs are too big now to stop. There are too many powerful people involved. If you could stop guns, you could limit it — but they will find a way — there is big money there, too. Curfews would help, as would security in schools and the investigation of police every six months is needed — their financial standards, welfare.
They are not going to do all this and take money out of their rich living. They are the criminals — we are the victims. They dictate people's living. How they live, what they can live on, where they can live. As long as you have one-sided law, this will always exist. They legally rob you and abuse you, and the law says it is okay. When you do it to survive, the law says it is wrong — you must die.
