Societal constructs interest me. Whether it is just the overall expectance to be polite and respectful, or the confines within the many laws of our American system, many Americans fall into this space of good citizenship. There are the people who are benefiting the most from this society, so why would they ever do anything that would betray our current social constructs. But what happens to the people who feel betrayed and screwed by our system, depressed and not worried about any punishments from their colleagues or the cops. These are the people who are dangerous, insane, menaces, but the thing is they are not hurt by these insults, because in their perspective, they are free. They think they are the ones who know the true meaning of life, and they do not care about social normalities and they are willing to do anything, and people brand them as mentally insane and a threat. But rather, they are just human beings who feel stomped on by the American system, so they feel they owe nothing to anyone except themselves. This is not an acceptable excuse for some of the despicable acts it leads to, but all I am trying to say is when the system betrays you, why shouldn’t they try to get revenge on the system. It is easy to forget that no one person is born evil, rather the cruelty that builds inside a person stems from their environment and experiences as a child. I know a lot of people who would see a suspect in a murder case and think or say, how could someone ever do such a horrible thing. And although it is a scary thought to think that you or any of your friends or family could be capable or such terrible acts, they are because everyone is capable of murder, or any crimes. I’m not saying everyone will commit murder, or even think the slightest thought of seriously murdering someone, only 0.000048 percent of the US population has committed murder. But when someones life is so terrible, they feel that there are limited options for them, their emotional reaction to this tragedy of a life will determine their likely course of action, and in some cases, extreme anger leads to murder. I hope no one ever feels so hopeless that they would ever think of this action, but so many people are so happy that they are blind to this immense struggle and inner turmoil that can happen to any precious soul on this planet. So next time you see a suspect guilty of some terrible crime, do not make their life or the victims an open and shut case, because their legacy and story, good or bad, is more than the one moment that we see on the news.
