I’m watching Part 2 of “Making a Murderer” on Netflix. If you’re not familiar with the story, Steven Avery was wrongfully convicted and spent 18 years in prison and was released. Only a few years after his release, he was convicted of murder again. And, I think he is innocent, but who cares what I think. His parents, who are about 80 years old and own a junk yard and auto shop think he’s innocent.
This picture of the inside of their business struck me. They have two large American flags hanging.
I bet if you asked his parents whether they believe America is a great country and if it’s a free country, they’d passionately say it’s the greatest and the freest, all while their son has spent about 29 years in prison for crimes he didn’t commit. In the 2nd conviction, it appears the sheriff’s department and the prosecutor is out to get him. How could Steven’s parents still hang the American flag? How do they not see it as a constant reminder that there isn’t justice for all?
They remind me of so many others who have been brainwashed to worship America, while it continues to move toward what is unamerican and anti-Christian. All they can do is bury their head in the sand, make fun of Kaepernick and keep up the Americaolatry.
