This makes me really angry

Reading in the newspaper about the big deal that is being made because a white judge said that he couldn’t do anything about the rapist raping inmates at least he cannot rape children anymore.

Now they are fighting for inmate rights.

What about the rights of the victim like in this case the 10-year-old boy, or every hard working decent human being outside who is just trying to make a living without harming his fellow humans who gets murdered, raped, assaulted, robbed, stolen from their property broken into, their rights are worth nothing. But these animals’ rights are important!

I have a goal of becoming a programmer so that I can make a better life for my family.

But at present this goal is unattainable as their just isn’t any money to study for it. I work everyday for a meagre salary just to keep the roof over my family’s head, the rest goes into buying food.

This isn’t something that we want we are just making the best with what we have. I don’t go out and break in to other people’s property stealing their hard earned money or possessions. I don’t go rape innocent people whenever I am in the mood. I don’t murder people for my own selfish ends. I respect my fellow human beings, I behave like a human.

I observed a cat in heat they have almost no control over themselves, when the hormones come they over write everything else, same goes for dogs, but we as humans we hold ourselves to a higher standard, except these animals they aren’t humans they are animals the moment they couldn’t care for their fellow human beings.

They couldn’t control themselves like animals yet they are rewarded with a roof over their heads, food in their stomach everyday, the opportunity to study further, even get paid a monthly wage, by whom the very tax payer they completely violated. How much sense thus this make?

And their rights are fought for vehemently and when these animals get out of jail, if they studied they can now get a high paying career as reward for their crimes, they will now be called a boss by the very same victims whose rights they trampled and whose lives they have ruined.

Human rights should be something you earn by way of your deeds not because you share the same genetic structure as the rest of us who behaves like humans.
