Fourth marijuana conviction gets man life

[rsplayer31]

I'm just wondering how much information is missing from the story above. The media does tend to suck and leave things out that can be big.

 

[Varmey]

Thats so fucked up, he gets a life sentence for distributing marijuana, there are people that get 1/4 of that first degree murder and child molesters and rapists that get a few years and a slap of the hand and they get out and do the same thing over and over again. America disgust me.

 

[Clashfan]

Doesn't america run on the 3-strike rule anyway?

Edit: 3-Strike rule works so well, sentenced a man for 25 years for stealing a slice of pizza from children: http://articles.latimes.com/2010/feb/10/local/la-me-pizzathief10-2010feb10

Only some states do, most infamously California.

Waste of a jail cell and Tax dollars....

 

[malakadang]

Such fail these laws.

I wonder who came up with, let's put someone away for life if they light fire to a natural plant and suck in.

Brilliant idea... I honestly feel sorry for these people in a way, some murderers, and rapists get more lenient sentences.

 

[Jinko]

Supid sentence, why he'd get that is beyond me.

prisons are lucrative business

i'm a darwinist, the idiots have to be eliminated from society for evolution to take place

if you are dumb enough to get caught with pounds of marijuana and they want to sentence you with life in prison so be it

edit: and on the comments about "waste of tax dollars" let me just remind you that GDP > your tax dollars

Evolution will remove these idiots from our society*

 

[Mehrues]

I think this charge is completely unfair, though he may be a repeat offender, life in prison for possession with intent to sell is blasphemy..
I think it will get appealed

No evolution doesn't remove these idiots from our society... laws do

 

[Pockets]

i heard about this and its complete garbage.

we need to get Ron Paul in the White House. Last i heard, he wants to give states the rights to legalize all drugs, even including heroine.

Not saying I advocate the use of such drugs (EDIT: i do advocate marijuana though ), but just the idea of having the freedom to make a choice just helps our country to actually become more free as opposed to the prison that America is today. They tell us its a free country; its not.

Yes please
I worked on his 08 campaign and hopefully will for him for 2012

Idiots will always find other idiots to be with these days. What the world needs is a mass-genocide of all types of people that I hate (yes, I am saying that I should decide who lives and who dies).

If you had any idea what you're talking about you'd know the death penalty costs the state more than life in prison.

if you learned how to read then you would see i said shoot them or hang them don't go some expensive way= fail even more fail then my grammar when typing



------------
and i mean just kill the person when they receive life in prison I don't care about the reason why they received a life sentence

That is sad, I don't smoke marijuana nor have I tried it but In my opinion it should be legal, a reason they also don't legalize marijuana is because of the FDA. It would get rid of all the drug companies who sell pain killers. (BILLIONS down the drain)

RANDOM FACT: A marijuana strand cures cancer which would get rid of cancer research which is BILLIONS of dollars.
I personally know someone who is a cancer specialist who says the "cancer research" department money goes straight to the head guys.
Cancer Cured? many other articles just use google.

 

[Swin]

Definitely a very harsh punishment.

That's all I can say really.

There will always be a business for pain pills and the such, because some people will simply never go near marijuana.

I personally would stand up for marijuana any day, seeing that it cures so many problems. It's a great medicine in a judgmental society.

 

[dam prayer noobs]

The reason they gave him a life sentence is because they get pissy when people don't follow their fucked up laws. This guy did this for a living so the only way to get him to stop doing it is to lock him up for life. This is sad...

 

[Baconater]

You guys aren't looking at the big picture, he isn't receiving his sentence for a marijuana charge he is receiving it because of his cumulative criminal record and the circumstances in which he was being put under arrest.
He obviously was not "corrected" if he is committing the same crime over and over agian.

He deserves to rot, people like this walking the streets just isn't good.

 

[FireZ]

Idiot wasnt going to stop, well he will now. Sometimes its the only way

 

[FireZ]

Supid sentence, why he'd get that is beyond me.

ignorance isn't an excuse. Why'd he keep doing it over and over?
