@studentalaw07 We all wish the world to be a safer place, yet buying a gun seems like one of the easiest thing to do. #gunviolence is rapidly increasing and something needs to be done about it

[Meaghan Phillips @M_PhillipsLaw]

@studentalaw07 Gun laws all over the world should be tougher! The increase of #gunviolence is constantly increasing, year after year, and this is not ok. In 2016, the US alone, saw more people #Killed by guns, then there are days in the year. #GunControlNow #gunviolence

[Meaghan Phillips @M_PhillipsLaw]

@Evan_PringleLaw I totally agree with this! #pilots are taking several hundreds of people across the world, and #flying while tired, potentially, puts these hundreds of lives at danger. They need proper rest time to pay #serious attention and have the sharpness to make decisions while in the air.

[Meaghan Phillips @M_PhillipsLaw]

@AYrdsb I agree with what you're saying! So many #Rappers , old and new, talk about women as objects and have much more rude and inappropriate references than 'Baby It's Cold Outside". If this #Christmas classic is being taken off air, so should these songs #BabyItsColdOutside #Christmas

The Charter of Rights and Freedoms has created a social & legal revolution in Canada, expanding the rights of minorities, transforming the nature of criminal investigations, and remaining an ongoing source of controversy. #HumanRightsDay @CdnEncyclopedia https://t.co/9GXD7D0DaX

@arvandikeeyara I totally agree. Even though he is the #President of the United States, he is in no way above the #law and must be treated like everyone else. #LawEnforcement #President #Trump

[Meaghan Phillips @M_PhillipsLaw]

@arvandikeeyara If Canada really wanted, they could ban trucks from travelling between popular times for commuters, especially on highways near the city, more specifically from 6am - 9pm. Would this then affect delivery times? #Trucking #Delivery #Transportation

[Meaghan Phillips @M_PhillipsLaw]

@arvandikeeyara Driving on the highway is scary for some people. There is more need for awareness as there are a lot more cars going a lot faster than on city streets. However, #trucks main route for transportation is #Highways . I believe if you're too scared, don't take the highway. #DriveSafe

2/2 a #Police officer is then seen ripping the baby out of the women's arms, pulling on the child while others hold the lady down. It's sad to see officers act this way. We #expect them to protect us, yet this is what is happening. What do you think should happen to the officer?

[Meaghan Phillips @M_PhillipsLaw]

1/2 This video is more than "troubling". A lady sits on the floor because all of the seats are taken, possibly because she is carrying a young baby and is tired. She is asked to leave, simply because she was sitting on the floor. Not harming anyone. https://t.co/ST5gN9rL5H

WATCH: NYPD says a "troubling" video showing officers trying to pry a 1-year-old from his mother's arms is under review. https://t.co/gYmBovUYbz

Women have many reasons for getting abortions, and it is not another persons place to say they are in the wrong for doing so. If you were impregnated due to rape, incest or other circumstances without consent, that baby may be a constant reminder to you. Abortion is not murder!

[Victoria S @vicsordilaw]

This is in all shapes, ways, and forms unbelievable. Women should be allowed to decide whether they want/need an abortion without facing #consequences such as a #fine. No law should be allowed to make such a life changing decision for impregnated women. https://t.co/FdbAzYGfZT

[Meaghan Phillips @M_PhillipsLaw]

2/2 #CyntoiaBrown argued that her sentence is unconstitutional, citing a 2012 US Supreme Court opinion, that said mandatory life sentences without parole for juvenile offenders violate the US Constitution. What do you think about this case? Is her sentence too long? #CyntoiaBrown

[Meaghan Phillips @M_PhillipsLaw]

1/2 #CyntoiaBrown , received a 51 year sentence without being eligible for release after the 5 decades. She was 16 when she killed a man who solicited her for sex, saying she felt if she didn't kill him, he would have killed her. https://t.co/bTHgqtsatK

[Meaghan Phillips @M_PhillipsLaw]

How disgusting. People say, it's 2018, everyone should be viewed the same, however some white people still see those of racial descent as lesser humans. A perfect world doesn't exist, but one where racially diverse individuals are being treated as less, certainly does. #Change

[NBC News @NBCNews]

A white student at Columbia College in New York was seen in a video berating a group of mostly black undergraduates, telling them white people are the "best thing that ever happened to the world." https://t.co/TuN9UZguTy

[Meaghan Phillips @M_PhillipsLaw]

@FrancescoDCHA I agree. I think the police force didn't look at how many shootings there have been this year, and how many have involved individuals of colour. The police say they learn to not racially profile someone, yet it is still happening. #Change needs to happen #race #profile #Police

[Meaghan Phillips @M_PhillipsLaw]

@nicole_marek This argument is very controversial. I personally believe that it is not encouraging and/or promoting rape culture. The song was as well sung in the Christmas movie 'Elf', does this then mean the movie is promoting #rapeculture and should not be played anymore? #Christmas #music

[Meaghan Phillips @M_PhillipsLaw]

3/3 For violation of his probation he then received only 2 years of jail time. MADD describes the sentencing as "a grave #injustice to the victims and their families". How is probation for killing 4 people a fair punishment? How does this affect your view on the justice #system ?

[Meaghan Phillips @M_PhillipsLaw]

1/3 Ethan Couch, "Affluenza teen", who killed 4 people as well as injuring 2 others due to drunk driving, was #released from prison in April of 2018. https://t.co/roMI4XLmG2

[Meaghan Phillips @M_PhillipsLaw]

2/3 Affluenza is said to affect #wealthy young people, particularly in this case, Ethan's parents "Didn't set boundaries for him". Instead of being given #jail time, he received only probation in 2015. He then violated his probation shortly after, when he fled to Mexico.
