A lawyer’s touching post about meeting a boy who has spent 10 years in prison without trial — jailed at 12 in 2015 and now 22 — is a heartbreaking reflection of the failures in our justice system. This kind of injustice demands urgent reforms, legal intervention, and public pressure to ensure fairness. However, a comment like “They should colonize this country again” is not only toxic but also dismissive of our sovereignty and dignity as a nation.
Romanticizing colonization ignores the exploitation, oppression, and generational harm it caused, and it does nothing to solve the immediate problem of judicial delay. Instead of making extreme political statements, energy should be directed toward real solutions: prison decongestion, speedy trials, and accountability in law enforcement.
