Hey Varus, while we're on the subject of "right and wrong" why aren't you screaming that Rush Limbaugh is walking free instead of doing a 25 year number in prison for massive drug violations?
At the risk of biting on the "two wrongs make a right" silliness of your post, is 25 years in prison the normal sentence for a first time offense for personal quantities of a controlled prescription drug? I'm pretty sure everyone gets to do community service and/or some drug counseling program and some probation for that, not just Conservative radio hosts.
I don't know about the rest of the country, but around here fiddling with your prescription
at all is a felony. Getting duplicate prescriptions from multiple doctors and thence getting multiples of your 'scrip filled at the same time is a
Class 1 Felony and will easily get you 20 years. Incidentaly, doing this across state lines makes it a federal case.
To put this in perspective, I know an individual who got a 'scrip for 4 Vikoden after oral surgery. He added a zero to make it 40. That alone got him 2 years in state prison. And, yes; that was his 1st offence of any kind.
I get it,though, gbaji; you believe rich, influential people should not be held to the same laws as the rest of the country. Especialy when they are your parties' best propogandist.
Rush's case in particularily abhorrent given his years of screaming for harsh penalties for drug users.
