So this week is constitution week. Of Course we have to have an assembly on it. Todays Discussion. The 8th Amendment and specifically cruel and unusual punishment.
Now of course we had a fake boring court case about it with liberal lwayers who couldn't stop saying "um". Something really did surprise me though. Something that I never would have expected.
Where I go to school, liberals spawn like rabbits and conservatives spawn like sloths. 85% of our schools teachers and students are liberal. Today it was much different in a way that no one would have expected.
In this case there were 12 students selected to be jury members for this case. 6 from AP Government and 6 from AP World. I was one of them choosen. One of the 4 conservatives out of everyone in the jury.
The Case was In Pennsylvania. There was an illegal alien who was trying to raise a family, working to support his family and try to live a normal life. Now I know he is illegal but lets forget that for now. This place, Hazelton, is a very racist area. One day he was walking down the street when he noticed kids writing ethnic slurs on a bridge. They saw him and beat him to death. The kids were ages 17, 18, and 19 years old at the time.
First Before I tell you the outcome I need to tell you my view on the death penalty. I support it 100% but only under certain circumstances. There is a difference between premeditated murder and defending yourself in the case of murder.
Liberals today have the nerve to call us "hypocrites" because they are saying we are killing people just like that person did. Well Mr/Mrs Liberal, if your son was murdered and it was premeditated if you would not want that person to die, I don't know what to say.
Being liberals they would try to avoid the question and try to put the blame on the conservatives saying that we instigate people that it is alright to kill. Yes someone actually said that to me today. I just laughed.
Now back to the verdict. We had to go and decide our case. The three choices were they should all get the death penalty, none of them should get the death penalty, and the two kids who are 18 and 19 should get the death penalty but the 17 year old shouldn't.
Now there were 4 people who believed they should get the death penalty and 3 saying that they should not get the death penalty and 5 in the middle one. This is the amazing part.
All the people who were in the middle choose they should all get the death penalty. I could not believe these people who consider themselves liberal choose for them to die.
Today was a win for the lonely conservatives, but soon it will go back to the majority of liberals winning because they outnumber us. Just as it is getting like today.
