9 months in federal prison for selling a BONG (no drugs)

Quote from alfonso:




However, it is also the height of stupidity to be aware of what the law is, break it, and then cry about having to suffer the consequances. Of course, this is all probably going way over your head, but work on it, maybe you'll get it one day.

I can assure you that you were not aware a human can go to jail for 25 years for stealing under $10.00 worth of food......I am not saying that the 3 strikes rule is wrong I am applying the rule to certain crimes; like the man in California ( and there are more in his situation ) ...Yet a Drunk Driver kills someone and gets less time.....Does this make sense to you???

Why the hell should normal, law abiding people like me have to be burdened by gutter trash who, for the life of them, simply cannot get it through their skulls that something is against the law?

Liberal, love-thy-revolving-door-prisoner experiment hasn't done diddly to curb crime. Maybe it's time to get Tough, capital T and all.

King George probably thought the same thing, around the time of the Boston Tea Party.
 
Quote from ElCubano:

worse...3 strikes law....in a case in california a guy was sent to jail for committing petty theft on 3 different occasions....the guy got 25 years...the law was recently challenged in the California Supreme court and was not over ruled...so in short a murderer may get less time than a person who has committed a way lesser crime 3 times...talk about fucked up....dont get me wrong someone stupid enough to not learn his lesson the first couple of times should get a stiffer sentence but 25 years for petty theft.....hell no....the system is out of whack when this happens...

Yep. 3-strike petty criminals get thrown in for eons and murderers and rapists get less severe sentences or are released early for over-crowding.

Doesn't make any sense at all, but pretty much nothing about the "justice" system makes much sense IMHO.
:mad:
