I'm drinking the kool-aid and loving every moment of it.
Just like the rest of the Nation, I've gotten caught up in the drama, the OMG, and the what the hell just happened moments of Making a Murderer. As we all know, binge watching Netflix has become a part time job in this joint.
As I'm in the process of going through the justice system myself, I had to turn it off during the interrogations because getting a confession from two people who have below average IQ's hardly sound like an honorable thing to do. I was infuriated and it hit a little bit too close to home.
Let me back up. In case you have been living under a rock or haven't had the chance to binge watch the Netflix series Making a Murderer, put it on your to do list, stat.
This isn't a spoiler alert. It's the story of a man in Wisconsin who was wrongly incarcerated for 18 years for a crime he didn't commit. And, then, the story begins. I won't give you many details because you'll have to see it for yourself.
But, put it this way, it includes a little incest on Avery Way (that's just a guess but when you see how much they all look alike you'll understand), poverty, redneck's who can probably put a car back together with their eyes closed, and like I said, a lot of below average IQ's.
You'll come out of this thinking you should have been a lawyer. I did at least. A criminal defense attorney who can prove that this man was set up. I mean, you looked in the same 10 foot bedroom three times and didn't find a key until the fourth round. Puhhhhleease.
I'm obviously not a lawyer. I don't have any kind of legal background other than marrying a cop, but I can tell you there is something corrupt and unjustified in what happened to this family. But, then again, with what is going on today, you read about it all the time.
Unarmed men are getting shot by men in positions of power (phew, so far, the women have been keeping their guns in their holsters where they belong and using their words to dilute situations, shocker) you have a race war, a man running for president who thinks we should start branding our fellow American's (we've been there and done that, you may remember hearing about Adolf Hitler) and it makes you wonder where we're heading.
This can't be good.
I'm not going to preach about who to vote for or what to believe, I'm just telling you that the series Making a Murderer will make you think. You'll think about how you would handle being locked in a room for hours being told what to say. When you have a 16 year old in special ed classes being told what to write, that is what he will do, he is learning. And, he literally just wants to go home and watch the WWF wrestling match.
Once you've seen it, you'll get that one. It's no joke, just draw this and draw that for me right here, Brendan, you're doing just fine.
Thanks for the jail time O'Kelly.
I'll wrap up this number on Making a Murderer because there's literally too much to say. There are so many questions and the most important one is, did Avery do it? There is a dead woman with his blood in her car, a woman who never got to walk down the aisle, or carry on her own life and that's what's important to remember. No matter what kind of injustice we have here, there is someone who's life was cut short for no reason at all.
When you've had the chance to catch up on it, let me know. There's no shortage of phone calls between my girlfriends and I asking each other, WTF just happened?
