I'm a Criminal and so are you

   Everyone in the United States of America is a criminal. You are a criminal, you might not know but you'll find out when you get caught! We read an article in class and found out a lot of people are criminals. A lady named Michelle Alexander wrote this article. She said that people who get arrested should not have as many rights as they had before they got put in prison. If everyone is a criminal, I don't think she should think this way but that's her opinion. People should be able to do what they want to. She should not judge other people's decisions.

   I think people should still have the same amount of rights as they did before they were arrested. About three million people are arrested as of now. Some people should get out of jail and have equal rights; It depends on what they do. If someone just J-walks or steals from a store or even gets in a fight they should get arrested; They should get out with their equal amount of rights. If that person commits a more serious crime like murder, rape or possession of a lot of drugs then they should be arrested and get out of jail with less rights than they had when they went in. I think she is over exaggerating about this situation asking people are they criminals. If "everyone is a criminal" she should leave it at that and stop asking people questions. That could lead her into some trouble.
