The criminal justice system was created to keep checks and balances on the citizens of the country and make sure they are abiding by the laws of the state and country but some feel like it has lost its way.

As a lifelong Prince fan, when I see a Purple door I think that the person in that house must be a big fan of the Purple Yoda just like me. Having a purple front door on your home has a long history that could be based on royalty or witchcraft. Not Prince the musician.
