24 months in prison... all for protecting my fathers life.Christmas night, 2015. Although he had made the mistake of fighting, that doesn't take away from the fact that 7 men had jumped him. They were malicious, no mercy for him. Throughout the fight a man had attacked my father and eventually got hurt. As he man laid on the street with my swollen and bruised unconscious father, the police pull up. All of the other fighters run away and only my father and I are arrested. Even with proof of them jumping, admittance on Facebook, video recording, clearly lying witnesses on their part, including a biased policeman, my father lost his case and got 5 years. Sadly I have to leave today for my journey, only wondering where it will it take me. My heart is crushed but my mind is strong. And I KNOW, even though I pleaded "guilty," that I am very far from it. Protecting not just a life, but my family's, is worth the ride to me.This racial shit makes me sick.Pray for us. Think of us. We will not be gone forever.Until then, much love
Stay strong, stay busy, and hold your head up. You will get through this. Don't get caught up in anyone else's negative behaviors. Just walk the other way. My son is coming up on his 2 yr Mark, in a couple months. He read a lot, played sports and just kept himself busy, and stayed away from the drama. Good luck to you on this journey. Send me his address. I would love to write to him.
