ridiculously pissed off at this article.
Free The West Memphis Three (http://www.wm3.org/live/newsevents/newsitem.php?index=1&news_Id=211)
These "kids" (now in their thirties) are continuously fucked over by the court system and it's getting just a little bit old at this point. How can they let these people rot in a jail cell for fifteen years for a crime that they didn't commit? I don't have a real rant to post here entirely, I just think that it's a little fucked up that this kind of thing happens, and not only that it happens, but that it can be widely publicized and still thrown under the table. These are lives that they're fucking with here. They'll never get those fifteen years back. I know that this site can get propaganda out well enough, so I just ask if anyone is able to spread information on these kids around because they know about the West Memphis Three already, or even if you've just heard about them, then all of the recognition would be great. I want to see a legal system mindfuck. Thank you for listening.
West Memphis 3 is a sad story, but as far as I know all of their legal options have already been exhausted. I went to a couple of benefit concerts for them back in the day and donated a little extra, but I'd have a hard time imagining that anyone who's not a judge or a governor can do anything for them at this point.
Which is extremely disappointing, but you're most likely right. I was really hoping that with the new DNA evidence that they would be admitted some sort of retrial, especially with the press being heavily involved with them in the past, and I read that article and just got morose instantly. Especially with a mind like Damien locked up in a cell unable to contribute to the world around him or at least take part in it. But, alas. Unfair world sometimes eh?
It's a fucking travesty. No joke.
Welcome to the new American century.
Same as the old American century.
