Civil Right Quote-Samuel Adams


"Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: first, a right to life; secondly, to liberty; thirdly to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can." Samuel Adams.

This quote is saying the colonists have these rights. First, we have a right to live. The second is saying we have the right to our own freedom. The third is saying we have the right to have our own property. With these three things we also have the right to defend them and whoever supports them.


"What I'd like to see police do is deal with important issues and not these sorts of victimless crimes when society is riddled with problems." Alderman Rodney Barket

I agree 100% with this quote. In my opinion I feel like cops should be out busting criminals that deserve to be put in jail. It might sound like I don't like the police, but I respect them. Instead police are always busting people for minor infractions. For example, say that someone was out selling marijuana in the streets. How, in any way, is that harming anybody? It's not. It might be illegal but do you ever hear of someone killing someone over marijuana? No. Instead police are wasting precious time they could be using to track down a killer for busting people for being peaceful. They should be busting murderers, and rapists, and crimes that actually harm someone. That's my opinion.
