The stupid, sad and infuriating thing about this is that a lot bad guys are going to be let go. The fact is though, that if lawmakers were required to find a revenue source, ie. raising taxes or budget cuts, before they passed a get tough on crime or three strikes law, they might realize that the macho swaggering in campaign adds comes with a price tag. This might require them to revisit drug laws. How many crimes are CAUSED by prohition? How many folks would not have chosen crime if drugs were legal? When was the last time you heard of a "violent beer dealer" being arrested? Honestly, the stupidity, hypocrisy and cowardice of this whole thing makes me want to bang my head against the wall. The solution is simple, obvious and free, yet we don't adopt it.
FQ13 who has decided 4 pm is definately late enough for a beer, if the "dealer" at his grocery store doesn't try to put him in prison in a sting operation
