16 Justice for All? By: Quinn Fish ‘21 Where was the justice for Trayvon Martin? As his innocent body lay lifeless on the pavement, surrounded by skittles and oozing blood. Where was his justice? Where was the justice for Breonna Taylor? A beautiful beacon of hope, 8 darting bullets steal her healing future, yet our judges assist the white cop, without a second thought. Where was her justice? Where is justice for George Floyd? He pleads “I can’t breathe”, as his last breath escapes his exasperated lungs. Our “protectors” continue their day, with the blood of another black American on their badges, with no shame. Where is his justice? A system founded on racist ideals, in a country led by men who sing the praises of white supremacy, cannot serve equality. The sweet juices of justice will not quench our thirst without the overthrowing of the white men oppressing our country.
