"They ran him over because he was black"
It was a Sunday Morning when Innocent 61 year old Johnny Lee Bucks went for his routine 4 mile walk in Mississippi, USA. he was run over by three white teenagers driving a white Monte Carlo. The three boys were coming home from a night of parting, drinking, and smoking Marijuana. One of the boys who remains unnamed reported how the murder went down. Matthew Witten was driving the car and was warned that there was a walker on the side of the road. Matthew continued to drive straight at the walker approaching from behind. The Driver continued to drive and hit Johnny Bucks without hesitation and without hitting the breaks at 75 MPH. Matthew was charged with murder and a hate sentence is still being trialed. Johnny Lee Bucks's son is convinced that it was done completely because of the colour of his fathers skin.
This is a sickening article. The way people can treat other people can meet nasty and terrible extremes. I think that Matthew Witten is as low character as a human can be. I believe that he hit this man only out of pure spite and racism. He did it without hesitation without second thinking. What was this boy brought up in? It upsets me that African- American people to this day still are not free from danger and racism. I am really disgruntled by the hatred that some people show to other human beings just because of there skin colour. I think that Matthew should get a life sentence in jail. He took a innocent mans life that was just walking enjoying the beautiful morning. He did this just because the skin pigment of another man was not his preferred colour. It surprises me that racism is still not 100% fixed in the world. The days of hatred should be over. People that think with a racist mind need to be informed. They need to be changed and they need to let African American people live in peace and safety like they deserve.
