In this case, three men are shot two of which end up dying and all because of the color of their
skin and the religion that they were. The same man shot all three of these people and is only tried for
the murder of the man that he tried to rob and then killed. In my opinion, the law should have
sentenced this man to life in prison or sentenced him with the death penalty just for shooting someone
with intention. It is wrong for the law to convict someone to life but then allow parole after forty years
no matter the circumstances. This man shot three innocent people just because of their skin color and
to the law that should mean life in prison. Racism in America has shot up in the last couple of years
because of instances like these and when someone is only tried for the shooting of one person when in
reality he shot three and they were all Muslim, a red flag is raised. A flag almost warning you that an
uproar is going to occur because in their eyes if someone of their religion would have done it they would
have been delt much differently with harsher punishments. Justice is served to this man in the case but
it is unjust as to how severe his punishment is. The prosecutors should have prosecuted him for all
three occasions not just for the one because no matter what just happened to the country there is no
excuse to shooting three unarmed men because of their color. Laws should be changed to protect men
like Bhuiyan so that when things like this happen the assailant is dealt with much more severe and
doesn’t get away with murder with his life. My opinion has always been if you take someone's life yours
deserves to be taken as well. I wish that the Justice system would have the same belief as myself and
would sentence these people to death. It would scare people like Stroman from killing someone and
would instead make him think twice as to what he is doing. Certain laws are not enforced to their full
potential and people do not take them seriously thinking that they will get away with it with their life.
This is a great example of this and the laws how they are unjust for immigrants and need to be changed
to be suited towards them but to help level the playing ground for all Americans and immigrants that
come into this country. For example back in I think February a young black boy was arrested and tossed
around in the back of a police truck and killed. This caused an uproar that led to the killings of several
cops that had nothing to do with the incident. When things like this happen and the person that
committed the crime gets away with it with a sentencing less than death it causes a big problem. Laws
