In the year of 2012 alone there has been at least 10 young black African American males sentenced to do 10+ or 15+ or 20+ years not for murder, rape, assault, kidnapping, molestation, or any type of human bodily harm. They are giving this kind of time for small amounts of drugs, first time offenders with no record are gettin offered this kind of time for lesser crimes then what I stated above, so many of these young men have unfair investigation and trials in these cases, due to the fact that most of the young men families cannot afford lawyers or proper council.
They are treated unfairly in mount vernon il judicial system, this act of racism and hatred has been committed so many times until there's only elders women and children left to fend on there own, no fathers, sons, brothers, uncles or cousins. We want fairness and our family members back, time for change is now.
We, the undersigned, call on the NAACP to take a stand for our youth, whom are being sentence to long unfair time, sentences that do not fit the crime.
