In My Opinion!!!

Why Do We Constantly Get Involved W/ The Law



In My Opinion!!!
Written By: Jayi Kemp

In my opinion crime is not crime, some crimes are legit, whereas others are complete B@llsh!t! But in the case of the Osley cousins from Toledo, Ohio I think their crime is a complete blunder of justice without a shadow of a doubt, I know we live in a society where we “presume” everyone is innocent until proven guilty (lol), but enough is enough!


Why do we think everyone can be rehabilitated? I find it absurd to think that every individual who has committed a crime can be rehabilitated and made into a law abiding citizen, it’s ludicrous in my opinion to think so. I was not raised in the streets, but found myself in my fair share of trouble with the law, when I had to stand before a judge I never stood before him or her for crimes or acts a violence which caused harm to someone, I was low risk, therefore I (to some) was viewed as redeemable.

But for people like the Osleys, in my opinion, it was only a matter of time. A person’s track record says a lot about them, I don’t know them personally, or know how they feel about it, but those stainless steel shackles they placed my hands in once, was enough for me to learn a valuable lesson.

Don’t do it, at least not again in my case, what the Osleys are involved in, is not my business, but seeing people catch the lighter end of the judicial stick only to become repeated offenders or possible murders as in the Osleys case just makes me so … upset, sad, and hopeless for the community in which I am a part of.

Every Tuesday and Thursday I get available I go to several places within Toledo and try to give back to those who feel hopeless about their situations, a lot of men who I have come into contact with over the years have made a lot of “drug – related” mistakes that have set them back in life further then what they ever had grasp. And for these men I sympathize with, not only have I been in their shoes, but I have ascend to places and had jobs that for the lack of better wording has astonish me!

But with every Osley situation that occurs it makes it harder for those brothers who want to honestly redeem themselves and make a life for themselves that does not revolve around hurting, murdering, or even selling dope in the streets anymore, and that’s why I am beyond myself when reading this article about the Osleys in my opinion!!!
