35-year-old gets life for pot

All ya need to know.

 

It's not so much "life for pot" as it is "life for saying 'fuck you!' to the judge, your probation officer and the law over and over."

 

Quit breaking the law, asshole.

 

OK. And if you're a Louisiana taxpayer, you'd be paying for him now where you shouldn't have to be.

 

I generally subscribe to this line of thinking, but really, judges need to be smart enough to know when the interests of society are better served by punting.

 

Yep.

He had already gotten a freebie. He could have gotten life after the third time.

If anyone has an issue, it should be with the lawmakers, not the judge. And, the lawmakers are likely reflecting the will of the residents of Louisiana.

 

Multiple things can be equally true.
The guy's an idiot. I have no sympathy for him.
That doesn't change the fact that pot should be legal and that life imprisonment for this crime is a waste of money.

 

How do you look at yourself in the mirror in the morning? Seriously.

 

Is there anything more hilariously hypocritical than lock-em-up Republicans who also claim to be Tea Baggers? You just wish their heads would explode.

 

This is generally my reaction to these kinds of stories, but I HATE pot-related incarceration. It drives me bat-shit crazy. This guy goes to jail for life, but the guy who was arrested for six DWIs in my area is walking around free.

 

But enough about Doctor J...

 

Dammit Dools! That was told to you in confidence.
