Dear Family Members
I come to you today with mixed feelings about the Stephen Lawrence resolution. For those of you that have been following the case or have read my earlier blogs you will already be aware that it has taken 18 years for these vicious racist murderers to be brought to justice.
Mr and Mrs Lawrence can finally have some comfort that two of the people responsible for their son’s death will be held accountable. But I ask you? What is 15 years in prison when Stephen will never breath again? When at least three others walked free? This verdict is bitter/sweet; but for his parents sake I am grateful.
These racially motivated crimes were supported by a institutionally racist judicial system, police force and political systems. If the The powers that be were as proactive when dealing with race crimes as they were with the young rioters of 2011 Stephens death and similar crimes would be almost non existent.
Cheers Stephen, this JD and Coke is for you
