Danny Nazzaro Reading Response Paper 3/2/2014 Micah Mintz The Idea of civil forfeiture would seem outdated unless you were part of its sweeping experience. After reading such a story‚ I think it is unfair‚ obscured‚ and a way of America that people do not see. Although it seems ridiculous it does seem to have both negative and positive impacts.

I believe‚ however‚ that the poem depicts a more painful and complicated series of emotions described by the
