Your view: No one is perfect

Friday, April 22, 2005

This is in response to the pompous *** who wrote "Deserve Punishment" which was printed in the April 14th issue. I would like to meet you because I have never met an angel. I was having a conversation with two of the guards at the Charleston prison, and they said it best: "The only difference between those of us on the outside and the inmates is that the inmates got caught."

Also, I don't know who wrote the article you were speaking of, but he or she was voicing their opinion, just like you did, so you have no right when calling them a thug and that is why I called you a pompous ***. Make's you mad, huh? Not everyone in prison is in there for rape, murder, etc. Some are in there for not paying their child support, DUIs, etc., and some were hard workers before going to prison. I am like the lady who wrote Response Unwelcomed. Do not judge them until you walk a mile in their shoes and remember nobody is perfect but we are all humans.
