A horrible story of racism,
A man, accused of a crime, for no reason except for his skin. Please let it speak for itself.

1. Yes, this is a horrible story..
I read all the comments also. I just hope that someone was able to find the young man and inform him about the results of the accusation. I doubt seriously if he wants to go back to work in the House.

Well, that's one good way to be sure that minorities don't get any ideas about being involved in politics at an early age.

Sheesh!

infinite injustices in a place far away, and it appears he'll get some sort of justice out of this from people and organizations closer to him.

File it away as another footnote to racism and stupidity, or maybe write a play or story about it.

6. This is an injustice in a place where injustices need attention.
I'm going to explore this later, knowing the world is an injust place.

If the House told the temp service they were firing him because of theft, he was more than likely let go from the temp service also, with it on his record, which will come up on every background search, number one....number two, I'm sure this young man knows it was because he was black that he was accused and given no quarter to defend himself...number three, you can bet this has burned into him and will embitter him and harden him...








On edit: It is telling that even people at the State House's are afraid and feeling like they are being spyed on...
