Description
In 1955, a 15 year old black girl refused to give up her seat on the bus, was arrested, became defiant, and scratched and kicked a police officer. Now she wants her police record expunged for reasons that sound like pure B.S. to me: to show progress is possible, to inspire her grandchildren to make the world better, and to be an example to them. Well, looks like progress already became better (despite the damage being done by the Democrats, but that is a separate subject), it would inspire the children to defy the police (as if they need more examples), and her police record legacy is already an example to them. And she wants to move to Texas.
Back then in 1955 the laws, society, and the world in general were vastly different than today. If everybody who commits a crime years ago can have their records expunged, why has this not happened? What makes her so special? Once her record is expunged, why cant everybody else's record be expunged as well? Fair is fair, right? This would make Cancel Culture proponents happy.
I say she did the crime, she did the time, and so it's water under the bridge now. The only reason to dig these dusty records up now is to further show defiance to the police. Of coarse, those who are up for re-election are all for the records clean-up. Can one imagine how much racist backlash they would receive if they ignored or refused to address the issue, especially if they refused to promote the expunging? And can one imagine how much more her attorneys business would be drummed up as news of this circulates? One couldn't dream up advertising like this. What a boon to her attoutneys. Like the Brits say: Brilliant!
