Most will do 2 to 3 years of their sentence; then paroled due to overcrowding, and tweekers aren't "violent" offenders. Then they will be back at it again. Just like my sis-in-laws ex boyfriend and his buddies.

After a year long investigation, the task force seiged 2.5 gm worth about $250.00. What the heck is wrong with this picture. The people they arised where drug user not drug dealings, (Scape Goats) they had to show something for wasting a year of the tax payers money in this county. Damn shame.

The trouble of it is their victims are all willing and ready to be victims. They go crazy to get the stuff. Others should be put out of their pain too. See If they didn't buy it there would be no demand. Lock them all up. Forever. We sure as the devil are not locking up liquor store owners for selling to their victims. A drunk is just another drug addict. Alcohol is a drug. Then look at the victims of the people making medical cabinets. The place many closet addicts get their fix. Had a pill lately.

No plea deals send everyone of them where the sun don't shine. How many lives have these a joles ruined during their drug dealings? Time they all paid for what they have done to others, see if the legal system can do something right for once.
