American Revolution Is Needed! (Old Writings)
I wrote this 3 or 4 years ago. Therefore, you will see grammar mistakes, opinions, thoughts, and feelings, much different from what they are today. I am consistently changing and maturing. I love reading my old writings and seeing how I thought and improved from back then. I was about 21 or 22 when I wrote this.
The 2005, riot in France, took a wide turn towards a revolution. As you all might remember, group of about 10 high school students were playing football in the Paris suburb of Clichy-Sous-Bois. Supposedly, the teenagers ran and hid when police officers arrived to check their ID’s.
Three students thought the police were chasing them so; they climbed onto a building, to hide in a power substation. A transformer in the electric substation electrocuted them. This caused tensions in the community. This event ignited pre-existing tensions. There was a lot of harassment and police brutality in the community. Many people in the community joined to speak against police brutality and police harassment. “People are joining together to say we’ve had enough”, said one protester. “The Associated Press”
This is a great example of how the government had not done anything to help the people in the ghetto. If this ignited the riots in France, who is it to say that America, would not step into the hot ring and start its own riots; because of police brutality and police harassment. Maybe we are waiting for another incident to occur, until someone raises their glass, and starts organizing an army against the police and the government.
What has taken so long for the Americans to step in and fight for our right to freedom? It seems that our life is not as free as the constitution outlines. If this is the case, who is to say what our rights really are? I feel that revolution needs to implode, maybe then, will our government system shake up and realize that we are not walking zombies, but people with families, love and people who wish for greatness for everyone.
I suppose we need another incident, which will ignite some energy that will fuel another senator to sign a bill, which has nothing to do with helping our country. I suppose it is easier to sign things that do not matter, than things that do. When will America, wake up and start working as a community. When will we realize things are drastically declining, and we are losing thousands of soldiers, while we contemplate on things that do not matter? Who needs another topic on who Angelina Jolie adopted or if Madonna is trying to compete with Angelina Joe Lee. Why does it matter and really, who cares?
I believe that it is time to unite and come to a sensible conclusion for improvement of America. I feel that time is running out, and we are slowly declining to the bottomless hole of evaporation.
