Knowing Your Rights and the Importance of Freedom

Sometimes when we watch news over at WCPO, LOCAL12, WLWT, or FOX19 we sit and wonder how driving under the influence of drugs/alcohol, theft and domestic violence still happen in the state of Ohio. For an institutionalized state and well off cities to even make several incidents happen in a day is just unimaginable in this day and time. These are serious crimes and you might need to pay a hefty amount or serve jail time if proven guilty. Most often than not, not all of these guys or gals deserve to go through the arduous process of the criminal justice system. It would be time consuming and troublesome for any person to do that. It pays to have proper representation and people who can defend you if you feel that you are wrongly accused. 

There are several people who go through this in a day. Think about how many it would be in a week, month or even a year. We don't want this not to look like an escape goat but more of something that you would need so you know your rights. There is a saying that ignorance of the law excuses no one and you need a professional lawyer to make sure you have all your rights protected. Whether it's here or outside the country it's the right thing to do. Make sure you know your rights and always understand that a crime is a crime. If you did nothing wrong, you deserve the freedom that you have just like the rest of the citizenry.

Jason Ivler now in Quezon City Jail

I know it is kinda odd for me to talk about him today but I kinda felt for the guy. I dunno, when all the world is making fun of him and his Mom I feel that we somehow kinda have something in common. I haven’t gotten into doing ROAD rage yet but boy this morning when I got home drunk, I paused a little bit when I saw him on TV this afternoon. He was sent out of the Quirino Hospital Medical Center and brought to the Quezon City Jail. Some hooligans even applauded when they saw him. Poor guy was in a shirt and shorts ailing because of his gunshots and pulled on a wheelchair. Jason by the way also starred in TGIS a local teen bop show in the early ninety’s… I dunno what happened to him after that but they said he served the US military for a few years. My hunch is he got a little freaked out when sent to Iraq. He said that he couldn’t adjust to the lifestyle in the city jail now if his Mom would always help him. The city jail by the way is very near my place... no I don’t go there but I always pass by that area. When you see the condition of the people there you would definitely be appalled how inhuman it looks like. I know his Mom from gym and I saw her there a couple of days ago. None of the former moms who were always with her before was there after that incident with Jason. I pity her and I kinda am sad about this whole thing happening to their family. Rather than persecuting them like the rest, I felt they were just misunderstood in some way. I hope it doesn’t become as sensationalized as it was a few months before. If they find out that Jason is guilty then go ahead but if not at least give him a fair trial and free him if that is the right thing to do. Although most of you might not agree on me with this I still feel he is innocent. I’m not a judge so I won’t be deciding on that in the next couple of months. I’ll stay tuned for more developments… sorry if I feel like I am going against everyone but hey if that happened to you what would you think other people would look like if they are ridiculing you like that now?
