What does it truly mean to be innocent? Not the adolescent ignorance of a child, but the absence of guilt in condoning, perpetuating, or encouraging evil. The prevalent notion that a government alone should serve justice, dismissing the righteous as vigilantes, hinders organized patriots from eradicating corruption.
How does one maintain innocence in a society punishing the righteous for holding evildoers accountable? In a society where serving justice independently is outlawed, how can one remain innocent? When laws protect evildoers by labeling those who refuse to stand idly by as vigilantes, how does one preserve innocence? Vigilantism seems just, for what else could embody a government serving justice?
Today, our system forces responsibility upon us for the actions of evil. Straying from idle observation subjects us to punishment, rendering innocence unattainable. A young man aspiring to retain innocence faces a potential death sentence, an incongruity in a society claiming to champion freedom and liberty but operating under tyranny.
In conclusion, the older we become, the more complicit we are in the state of our society. Turning a blind eye perpetuates evil, contributing to its existence. Our society, rather than just or righteous, coerces the young into guilt through association with nefarious policies. Together, we find strength to challenge this paradigm.
