Im thankful for head phones because they help me ignore annoying people and take my mind off things. Im also thankful for fuzzy blankets because im always cold during winter so i like to cuddle up with a nice, warm blanket. Im VERY thankful for coffee and iced coffee because i just love how it taste and it never makes me hyper so i dont have to worry about drinking it at certain times but the best iced coffee comes from Canada because they have Tim Hortons which is kinda like Dunkin’ Donuts but wayyy better. Im also thankful for my family and friends, They are always there for me when i need them, and i’ll always be there for them when they need me.
Maycomb editorial by Mr. Underwood
I think people in lynch-mobs should be punished for various reasons. For one, they are very dangerous, and they cause serious problem. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want to be near a mob or apart of one. People that are in mobs may have good reasons to be in them, but honestly, they kill people for fun almost.
Some people may say that mobs don’t just kill people or that all mobs aren’t bad, but for that one mob that wanted to kill that negro in the jail cell, I didn’t want to be anywhere close to them. But the sad thing about was I knew some of those people in that mob because they live in the same town as me and have children of their own, so why would they want to kill people?
On the other hand, this particular mob was killing an African-American in jail because he was being accused of raping a white female, and we all know how that usually ends, and it starts with mobs. Im not saying that he should not be punished for what he did, but he can only be punished once they find out if he really did it or not. I feel like no matter who is being accused of what, they should still have a chance to say their part.
Instead of mobs going around killing African-Americans that are innocent, they should wait to hear the trial and leave it up to the judge what their punishment should be. I wouldn’t want my kids seeing a mob because I wouldn’t want them to think that’s the right thing to do in cases like that. Atticus Finch is a very brave man for taking this negroes case and standing by him to make sure he wont get killed.
