Sacco and Vanzetti: Editorial

             The Sacco and Vanzetti case has caused quite an uproar in the past 7 years. These two italian immigrants have affected and caused an upheaval in every part of the US and many parts around the world. As you all probably have heard, Sacco and Vanzetti were accused and convicted for burglary and murder in a Payroll office in South Braintree, Massachusetts. They are sentenced to be executed by electricution tomorrow. The fact that two men would be subject to prejudice and sentenced to death just beacuse of their nationality is just ludacris. There is no real proof that these men were the ones that comitted the murders and robbery in South Braintree, Massachusetts. The only proof needed was the fact that the two men were carrying guns and that they were Italian. Due to the rise in organized crime, this is just another example of prejudice against other cultures beacuse of the stereotype that all Italians are involved with the mob. Nicola Sacco was just a loney shoemaker trying to make a living as was Bartolomeo Vanzetti as a fish peddler. There is no reason to not give these men a fair trial. Their nationality is irrevelant. These men should be tried as the normal US citizens they are and there should be proof beyond a reasonable doubt that these men did no commit these acts of violence in Massachusetts. Our electricity could be put to much better use rather than killing two innocent men. All people in the US are innocent until PROVEN guilty and if these men are put to death, the United States is obviously no longer the "land of the free".
