Blog – Who do you sympathize with?

There are two sides to every story. In this case it was between the Jews and African Americans. The incident was when a Jewish man hit and killed a young African American. The African Americans claim that he was drunk at the time of the accident but when the ambulance took him to the hospital he had no alcohol in his breath. The ambulance that came to take the Jewish man to the hospital was a private ambulance for the Jews. The African Americans complained that they needed to attend to the dying kid on the ground rather than taking the Jewish man to the hospital. Their argument was that the Jewish man was up and walking while the young African American was lying still on the ground. The African Americans also beat up the man who killed the young boy so much that he required stitches on his head and skull. Also as a result of this incident a few hours later another Jewish man was walking when a group of African Americans stabbed him just because he was a Jew. After all of this and listening to the movie I have to say that both sides are to blame. I feel sympathy for both but I think that both sides also did things to anger the other side. The African Americans stabbed a Jewish man for the simple fact that he was a Jew and the Jewish man who hit the young kid ran a red light, which is never acceptable. The Jewish also brought their own private ambulance to the scene to help the driver; while they just left the young kid lying there. That is why I don’t feel as though I can side with one or the other.
