The article “Two men jailed for life after brutal murder in Hamilton” by anonymous. This article is about two men getting revenge on someone. Peter Burns, 41 and John Holland, 40 killed 28- year old William Downie. Downie walked away free in February of last year, after accused of assaulting Burns’ wife and daughter. Burns and Holland chased down Downie and finally caught up to him when he tripped on a fence. There were 23 stab wounds. With one directly through the hart.
In my English class we read the short story The Cask of the Amontillado. This story was about revenge. When I read both this makes me think, can we go to far when we are mad? Is there a way we can stop this? Even though he was brutally murdered Downie was still accused of assault. It may not be true in this case but the article said he had been arrested before for assault.
I think there is a way we can control are anger and not end up going to jail for life because we wanted revenge. I don’t think any problem should lead to someone being killed. There are ways to fix it and ways to end it.
