I read this article in the Washington Post and now I'm mad, what can I do about this anger?

Question

It is called 'The Wrong Man' about an innocent black man who was haulted into jail and ended up extracated into Atlanta because his name was the alias of a known fugitive. What really got me angery was the apathy the law had to him because they really didn't do anything to make up for what they did to him.

Answer 1

There are several things you can do:
1) Write a letter to the editor of the Post
2) Write your Representative
3) Give time or money to a charity that helps victims like this. My personal favorite is the Southern Poverity Law Center. They provide free legal services to anyone that has been a victim of racial or religous injustice. Below I provide some links about it's co-founder Morris Dees and information about the various programs that the Southern Poverty Law Center provide.

I encourage everyone who reads this to think about how they can teach tolerance to a child today.

Answer 2

Write your state and federal legislators. They are there to represent you, and if you don't tell them how you feel, they'll just listen to the lobbyists that shower them with money.

Answer 3

yes you should do the above
but some counsellors get you to project your anger on to a pillow
and punch it out

Answer 4

The law (and military) will never tarnish their image anymore than it already is. They will never admit fault.

Answer 5

Cool Baby cool, every day things like that happens and they will keep happening , will you ? hang yourself that sort of news,cool baby unless you can do something or protest against it.
