Harold,

Your an idiot. Get your head out of your sisters butt, pick up a mitt and get in the game. These liberal parole boards are a joke. Build more prisons, they are good for the economy. Brings tax dollars back to the communities. Go do another bong hit and MELLOW.

Surety of punishment is a better determent for crime than severity

Oh, and if you don’t see that drugs cause violence in and of themselves rather then because of law enforcement, then you must be stoned or willfully ignorant in the first place. 

Of course, you have evidence for this statement. Please share will it with the rest of us.

A guy like this is the reason that those who go out and commit murder should be in the express lane to execution. Life in prison should be abolished. All these ridiculous lengthly sentences should also be abolished unless the crime warrants it. Parole should be abolished as well. Our legal system needs on heck of an overhaul. You go out and murder some one, are found guilty of said murder, you die. End of story. No life in prison being taken care of with three square meals, some comforts of home, visitation, medical care and all that crap on my dime through taxes. You go out and rape some one and are found guilty? Castrate the pig and let them go. Abuse or molest a child? Toss them in with the general population and let the guys there take care of it.

As for the drug topic. Legalize every last bit of it. Put an age limit on it like you do with tobacco and alcohol. Sell it, tax it and take the big money out of it. Those who want to do drugs are going to find ways to do it anyways, and those who wish to sell drugs and make money will do it anyways. If someone wants to throw away their lives by doing the drugs especially the hard drugs, not like pot, what do I care. It is there life, they want to ruin it? So be it. They leave me alone, I have no problems. Legalize and tax it you will not have all the gang violence and turf wars associated with it.

As for the nonviolent criminals I totally agree. Fine them and let them go. Illegals in our jails? DEPORT THEM. Our tax dollars pay for all their care and everything else. It is on our backs and frankly enough is enough. The cost is ridiculous.

And that is my take on it.

It’s not the fault of the drug laws. Everyone has a personal opinion of this law and that law. If it is illegal it is illegal PERIOD.

The problem is that these prisons and jails are no longer deterrents. We have coddled prisoners for WAY TOO LONG. One should viscerally AFRAID of going to jail regardless of what it is for.

But I will concur with locking up minor pot smokers is garbage, Singapore has a much better penalty for minor stuff – CANING. In public, and then it’s done and forgotten……unless you repeat offend.

Oh, and if you don’t see that drugs cause violence in and of themselves rather then because of law enforcement, then you must be stoned or willfully ignorant in the first place.

Why does parole exist at all? If your punishment for a crime is five years in prison, you should be free in…FIVE YEARS. There should be no sentences of “two life terms plus 20 years.” That’s ridiculous. A single “life term” should be all that’s necessary, and it means you die in prison. Cruel? Not as cruel as taking someone’s life. I’m all for justice and making sure those judged guilty are actually guilty, but once that’s done, the perp should serve the time he gets. To the last hour. If it’s a death sentence, again, do all we can to be sure we’ve got a proper conviction. Then end it.

Chungling. You must be the dumbest person to have ever lived. ( NO seriously).. To follow your stupid moral precept, i want to murder you, your family, anybody that you love or loves you. scratch that, i want you to be alive while i do all these things, then you tell me if people should be allowed to kill whomever they want..

Anyways something tells me that your not that stupid and that was your weak attempt to be funny or sarcastic. I hope its both the latter.
