  1. +Carlos Barrett She got the maximum sentence under the law. Her race had nothing to do with it.

  2. Here's wacky idea... Don't do drugs. Quite frankly, the consequences of your choices are your problem. It is not the job of tax payers to take care of your worthless ass. When I nearly lost my leg, I was on the strongest pain killers available for weeks and on Vicodin for over a year. Guess what. I didn't need detox to quit taking drugs that were wrecking my body. It's called self control and discipline. Get some.

  3. Crouchy232323 My intelligence is just fine. I'm just one of those wacky people that believes that actions have consequences. When you choose poorly, it's on your head. But hey, if these clowns didn't grow up in a pampered nanny state mentality, maybe they would have the testicular fortitude not to wreck their own lives and demand that people fix their shit.

  4. Rochyan Really? Since when do drugs have race?

  5. Carlos Barrett Given that state law requires concurrent sentences for these offenses, the most she still got the maximum.

  6. Rochyan So it's the law's problem that poor black people are retarded?

  7. BaltimoresBerzerker But, but, muh "oppressions"...

  8. xUnleadedx Yeah... Ultimately, YOU have to put the needle in your arm. If you still do it, you're not trying hard enough.

  9. +Danielle Schafer It's not the government's job to protect you from your own choices. Make better choices.

  10. bullits17 07 Yeah, got one. Thanks. How do you think I wrecked my leg?

  11. BaltimoresBerzerker I'm sorry... Did somebody how a gun to your family's head and force them to sign of the dotted line? I was 30 before I bought my first house and I have made six figures since my mid 20s. For people who are "corrupt" they seem to be picking up an unusually large portion of the check.

  12. Carlos Barrett It took a lot of work. Getting my bachelors while on active duty was a major pain in my ass.

  13. BaltimoresBerzerker It's called payment for services rendered. If it didn't pay that well, I would have gotten a different job that paid for college.

  14. Crouchy232323 Not really, I was studying to practice criminal law in law school. I actually have a BA in criminology that I picked up in my spare time. (Fortunately, my wife set me straight by pointing out that, with an engineering degree, patent law is a lot less stress and a lot more money.) Here's a god overview article. Basically, veterans commit violent crime at roughly 1/4 the rate of the general population by even the most rabid anti-military estimates. http://strongeratthebrokenplaces.com/veterans-and-violent-crime/ The reality is that compulsory military service would do these drug addicts a lot more good than any rehab program. In addition, they would actually be providing a service to society rather than being a drain on it. But the left wing has gotten into the habit of demonizing the military so much that they forget how useful it is to get people's lives turned around through their own efforts. Let me give you an example. In 2003, my unit deployed to Iraq for Operation Iraqi Freedom and, at the time, we had at least half dozen former gang members in the unit. (My combat engineering company had ~100 men in it.) They were some of the most squared away Marines in my unit. One was a staff NCO (a Staff Sergeant) who still had highly visible gang ink on his arms. In my experience, anybody can turn their life around if they put any serious effort into it. I am proud to have served with each and every Marine in my unit and am proud to say that the worst disciplinary infraction we had in four years of rotating deployments was a bar fight that got a bit out of hand. (Nobody was seriously injured, but the provosts had to break it up.) I can honestly say that the undergrad engineering students at my university were nowhere near as well behaved. The dorms constantly smelled of fresh popcorn (to cover up the smell of fresh smoked weed) and there were guys passed out in the halls every Saturday. There's a reason why I would have preferred to live in on-base housing while going to school if it was at all practical. My experience is limited, but my wife, who's a former Army MP more or less agrees with it. The garbage she deals with as a beat cop makes her days in Ft. Benning look like a vacation.

  15. It only becomes my issue in so far as the time it takes me to draw my gun and put a bullet in any particular druggie's head.

  16. NicholasRiviera They have plenty of chances to get on their feet, what they don't get is my tax money to fix their problems that they created in the first place.
    2
  17. ***** It's really not. We pay taxes for a few constitutionally defined roles of government. Handouts to worthless lowlifes are not among those roles.
    2
  18. ***** Hillary for prison. Bernie for the chair.
    2
  19. ***** Taking drugs != lowlife. Being addicted to illegal drugs that you CHOSE to take == lowlife. Decisions have to have consequences.
    2
  20. ***** Yes, it's worth an electric chair.
    2
  21. ***** Right now? I'd take Trump or Cruz. Trump because he's stick his foot in liberal ass sideways and Cruz because he's an actual small government conservative. Honestly, I'd love to see Trump appoint Cruz to the Supreme Court. 
    2
  22. BaltimoresBerzerker Please tell me how you're "subjugated" by the people who pay the overwhelming majority of the taxes.
    2
  23. Crouchy232323 What do we do? NOTHING. Welcome to natural selection. It is inherently immoral to keep an idiot from his well deserved Darwin award.
    1
  24. Crouchy232323 Yeah, not going to happen. My family knows how to defend themselves. No drug addict is winning a gun fight with a Marine and/or a cop.
    1
  25. Crouchy232323 Straw man much? I said VIOLENT CRIME motivated by drug abuse.
    1
  26. Crouchy232323 Let me break it down for you purple dinosaur style... Violent Crime != Death Penalty Drug Use != Death Penalty Drug Use + Violent Crime == Death Penalty Did that make it through your socialist addled brain yet?
    1
  27. Crouchy232323 No, no I haven't. Marines have this thing called "self control".
    1
  28. Crouchy232323 Far fewer than the general population.
    1
  29. ***** Yeah... I've got a degree that says otherwise. (Several in fact.) But please, try to ad-hominem your way out of a logically fallacious position. You're just showing your own incompetence and laziness.
    1
  30. ***** It's not rocket science. Take the drugs you're supposed to in the dosages you're supposed to. I have a lifetime script for Vicodin that I have not filled in years. I'd rather deal with the pain than run the risk of becoming a junkie.

  31. John D I don't give a shit. You don't start using drugs because you're under the influence of drugs. That's a circular fucking argument.
    1
  32. John D Perhaps their parents should have done their fucking job? I didn't touch a drop of alcohol without parental supervision until I was 21. Even then, I never got into the sorts of boozing that is common in Marine units. Why? Because my parents raised me right and I have this little thing called "discipline" to reinforce it. Parents that allow their kids to experiment with drugs need to get their teeth kicked in and them AND their children need to be whipped in a public square.
    1
  33. John D I expect everybody to be AT LEAST like me. I'm hardly a paragon of perfection. If you don't hold people to standards, you have no standards.
    1
  34. ***** I am, at best, an average citizen. What I am not, is a piece of garbage with no self control. You need to go read yourself some Nietzsche. At the end of the day, the only things that matter are your own will and what you use it to achieve.
    1
  35. ***** Ah... Classic liberal. When you don't have a rational argument... Ad-hominem it is. Come back when you have a rebuttal rather than slinging bullshit personal attacks.

  36. Brandon Freeman They can be as different as they want. What they are not allowed to do is demand that I pay for it.
    1
  37. ***** If you believe as you claim, than you're a RINO at best. But please, keep deluding yourself.
    1
  38. ***** It's idiots like you who would hide behind the title of "Republican" while compromising everything that true conservatives stand for. Embrace your commie brothers fucktard.
    1
  39. ***** Son, I have degrees in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from a tier one university along with a law degree from the Law School from the same university. Just because I detest your pathetic excuses does not mean I "don't understand" them. I just don't give a shit.
    1
  40. ***** There is no such thing as an "unavoidable circumstance". Ultimately, you have to choose to put the needle in your arm.

  41. John D The Soviet Union was issuing "silver spoons" was that the line next to the bread coupons?
    1
  42. John D Fucktard, how did he get to be an addict in the first place? He CHOSE to smoke crack. Claiming that someone who's on crack can't be held responsible for not making rational choices is circular reasoning. Crack is a hell of a drug, but it doesn't propagate its effects back through time.

  43. erich casey There's a difference between helping and being FORCED to help at government gunpoint. It is not my financial responsibility to take care of people who can't be bothered to take care of themselves.

  44. John D If you feel so strongly about it, feel free to donate your own money and keep your hands off of mine.

  45. Josh Zook I don't act like I am... I actually AM. Why? Because unlike the losers in this video, I never got addicted to drugs and didn't let it drive me to a life of crime.
    1
  46. John D Exceptional? No. Superior to these sub-human scumbags? Yes.
    1
  47. John D Yeah... I'm going to go ahead and call bullshit. Breeding tells.
    1
  48. John D I've got a CV that says otherwise.
    1
  49. John D For someone who doesn't care, you're awfully aggressive. I still fail to see how their welfare is my financial or moral responsibility.
    1
  50. ***** Yeah... Good luck with that. 1st amendment and all that.
    1
  51. franny YNWA Yeah... Funny how we do neither of those things. Just because terrorists use women and children as human shields doesn't make it our problem. It's called collateral damage. It's been a part of war since war was a thing.
    1
  52. It also did't teach me about the fact that addicts are sub-human scum that would use any available excuse to explain away their personal moral failure. Oh... Wait... It did.

  53. Ah... You're adorable. Go learn English then come talk to me kiddo. While you're at it, get out of your mother's basement. I'm sure she'd like to get her kink dungeon back.

  54. NoDDinOuTMeLoDy Sounds like you're not quire paying attention to those 12 steps. I believe taking responsibility for your own actions is among them.

  55. michak000 You're adorable... You think I give a shit about the opinions of people who deliberately put poison in their own bodies...
    1
  56. FYI... For those who are concerned about costs to society of criminal drug addicts... It's actually not that bad. A bullet to the back of the head costs ~$0.20 and a pine box can be had for ~$50

  57. Kevin Z That would only be true if I was a criminal drug addict. Given my job, that's highly unlikely.
    1
  58. Kevin Z That was sorta my point. Thanks for agreeing.
    1
  59. Atticus X That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard. So, by your logic, criminals can only be judged by other criminals? Oh, hell no.
    1
  60. Jason That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard. Do you know what your chances are of "catching" cocaine addiction of you don't use cocaine? ZERO.
    1
  61. Ok... fucktard... what part of "if you never try drugs, you will never get addicted to drugs" do you not understand? I don't give a shit about your mealy mouth advocacy "science". When the "data" comes from groups who ONLY EXIST to push a narrative, EVERYTHING they say is irrelevant.
    1
  62. CHRISTIAN gamerXD No, I'm sitting in my office with my gun on my hip. I don't commit crimes, so the retardation of criminals does not concern me.
    1
  63. Jason Awwww... the commie thinks he's better than me... I've got a Glock on my hip that proves otherwise.

  64. richard prudencio Gee... if only we had an example of a country that decriminalized hard narcotics... Oh, yeah... We do. It's called China circa 1850. Post Opium Wars... I wonder what happened? Yes. People who use illegal drugs need to be stood up against the wall and shot.
