      @@Overtimewayne Yeah...I have to agree with you... it's been going on longer than that and it appears that having cameras work but not all the time. Now it's up to a jury to decide what they see is true or not. Its entire mess but I cant help but to remain hopeful. In the meantime, there still needs to be some change taken place in the justice system
      It's really sad that they want the change to happen from injustice of individualis (African Americans) who are being accused. It starts within the system. That's a lot of time that the justice system takes away from innocent people only to compensate them with money... they compensate them with money and the same time, theres no reprimand for the injustice committed

    I’m so glad this story was produced into the film, Just Mercy. The line that stuck with me most - “The true measure of our character is how we treat the poor, the disfavored, the accused, the incarcerated, and the condemned.”

    Reading the book and then watching this is so surreal. I’ve read all about this and read all about these people, but seeing what they actually look like, sound like and act like, just makes the story all the more painful. It’s horrifying how this is real, and the overlap that comes from when you read the book and see the words “60 minutes interview” and then watch it, it really does just settle in that every single part of this was real, every word spoken, every injustice and every bit of pain, were something that actually did happen. It was disturbing to read, but it’s almost unreal to watch.

    I just watched the movie " just mercy" and I was literally shook up so deeply inside my heart hurt i cried threw out the whole movie. Our justice system is so set up for complete failure. It's so very traumatic. watching this movie makes me wanna make a difference & to make a change to be wanna be or so I should say to be a better person to know how an innocent person's life is just thrown away. It's all based around politics and set up elections its makes you really think about everything in your life how
    It's all been a lie everything they have ever taught us or told us we know the difference of right and wrong I think that is something that we are born with it it's called a conscience I truly believe that at a young age we already know the difference of right and wrong OH HOW WE WALK AROUND WITH OUR EYES WIDE SHUT... I just want to say I was deeply touched by this movie I mean deeply touched I was moved to make a change .... and with that being said may God have grace on the soul for those who have decided whether or not a person should live or die I dont know how you sleep at night but one day as you have judged.... You yourself will be judged....I know that I'm gonna make a difference weather no one sees it or no one knows it. I'll know it... I dont know where to start in the very cruel world... So I'm going to start with myself, I'm going to be a better person starting today... And my deepest sympathy goes out to Herbert and his family the man in the movie who is electrocuted when should have been placed in it psychiatric ward because the system failed him we done that to him in Vietnam in a war we should have never had but that's another story.... this movie has inspired me... FALSELY-N-GRAVED... to the people of our nation & to the people of our country we need to wake the Fu@% -UP... to those of us who can make a change need to make it... Its never too late to do the right thing... make a difference everybody's lives matter... We are all Gods children it's time to come together as one
