David WalksAlong and James Wright are two characters in this justice system. In the chapter of The Trial of Thomas Builds-the-Fire, the Judge talked to Thomas with a harsh tone. He seemed to extremely want to make Thomas go into the prison, no matter how Thomas tried to explain. Also, there is a dramatic conversation in this chapter, ” ‘What charge should we bring him up on?’ ” (Paragraph 6) and ” ‘Inciting a riot? Kidnapping? Extortion? Maybe murder?’ ” (Paragraph 7). It sounds like the officers judge a person are basing on their mood or the weather of that day. It is like an allusion to sarcasm the government judge a person easily by the superficial phenomenon, rather than find more evidence to decided the convicted guilty or nor. Although the justice system clam they are justice, sometimes it sometimes could judge a person in a wrong way or based on the bias.

I agree with your last sentence, I think that the court system likes to put on a facade to cover up the fact that they will sometimes judge someone wrongly based on their personal bias.
Hello,
I like how straightforward your response was. I agree with your point that “although the justice system clam they are justice, sometimes it sometimes could judge a person in a wrong way or based on the bias”.
I agree that the judge was a clear indicator of the mistreatment of Thomas and his people. The justice system was clearly not doing any favors for Thomas who was unfairly trialed.
