How the hell is this fair?!?

If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off.

Situation 1 is in Canada. Shouldn't matter, but that's all I've got that isn't inane. Very much..

Here's a story. A good friend of mine's brother had to flee the country because police stopped him in melbourne and searched his backpack. He had a fake gun (for a drama production he was HEADING TO) and a baseball bat (for BASEBALL). They arrested him and searched his house, found a machete. He had to fly to isreal (on bail i think) or he would get jail time.
5 years ago, they are still looking for him.
In a world where 1 in 5 women are sexually assaulted this seems somewhat obscene. Do the fucking cops not have anything better to do with their time?

Cause' cop don't join for helping people most of the time, they do it because they want the benefits and don't care about the common man, to fuck with teenagers/minorities, or immunity in criminal court cases because they are under government pay roll. If someone wanted to help the people, they would of joined the firefights.

loopholes my man loopholes. A good lawyer is the best at exploiting thhem.

The System just dosen't work on most cases, the punishment they have given him is a little harsh, but he shouldn't have been carrying the heroin around in the first place.

 

[Duke Nil]

Please clarify what I'm obviously missing here.

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that the united states legal system is just. Learn to manipulate it or stay out of it

 

[mcgroobber]

when i think about crime i think about if the person is a danger to society, the person who beheaded someone is still a danger to society, therefore should be imprisoned.

in regards to your cousin, sucks but the U.S. government doesn't want drug users, and they can't send people who were born in U.S. somewhere else, but those who they can get rid of, they will.

Trust me, you're not the only one that found the verdict in that Greyhound killing appalling.

uhmm, no. In fact, it's kinda their job.

Their job is to persecute innocent people, with solid alibis when there are rapists and murderers walking the streets?

Yes....Have you been living under a rock these past years or what?

Hahaha.

Yeah, it was worth replying just to say that. YOU WANNA FUCKIN GO!

MF, settle the fuck down. Lullabye, that phrase is no longer funny or witty and is now an insult. Don't use it.

Oh, do you see what I see? You, not only telling others what to do, but also insulting me> sir, i was joking up until this point with MF, but to you, i say quite seriously fuck off.

My best mate got sent to juvenile hall for possesion of marijuana, the world is a fucked up place. Kill it with fire.

 

[SilentVirus]

I don't think if you are a citizen of the US and get caught heroine they can deport you. I think there is alot more to be done to be deported than do a drug. And to make this worse, people do this kinda stuff everyday and it is inevitable that it will happen.

And as on the greyhound bus, What the hell!? That guy should be institutionalized or thrown in prison. If it happened once and you let him go he'll only do it again until we realize he is a crazy mofo. Therapy doesn't work all the time.

 

[Internet Kraken]

I get the impression that you're not telling us the full story. Though maybe you can get deported for having heroin.

However, situation 1 has nothing to do with your cousin's situation. They are 2 different and separate crimes. Just because that criminals punishment may have been far more lenient does not mean your cousin should not face the consequences for his actions.

How is this not justified?

I'm going to assume that the qualified professionals know more about that man and his status than us, and made the right decision accordingly.

First time offense and it was less than 1g.

So me informing you that your wit is not funny and can easily lead to a flame war is an insult? Sorry for trying to keep you two from derailing the thread and getting Mods on your asses.

.......hmmmm, okay, first off, i wasn't trying too be witty. I was using a "cliche", durrr.
2ondly, we were having a discussion, which is unfortunately what these forums are for. However backwards and stupid it was, it was our convo, and if you had a problem with it, just hit "report", s thats what it's for, instead of aiding in the de-railment of a thread which you so fear. 3rd, seriously, if my stupid little comment leads to a flame war then i seriously misjudged these forums.
EDIT: You know what, lets just drop it. this is getting retarded. I admit my comment was rather unsavory and withdraw any offense given to any individuals from this little spat.

 

[L3m0n_L1m3]

Well, when I read things like this [http://overlawyered.com/2006/09/the-burglar-and-the-skylight-another-debunking-that-isnt/], I lose a lot of faith in the law system.

Doesn't matter. He was still violating the law. Your friend should have been aware of the consequences when he bought those drugs.

 

[gim73]

Well, heroin is a pretty dangerous drug. Unlike pot, which totally should NOT be illegal by any means. There are bad people out there, and cops don't really want to deal with them. If they can get away with just busting minor offenders, they will. How many times have you been pulled over for a burned out light on your car and harassed for any possible reason? Do you really see ANY good reason that you should be fined for driving without insurance? The fact that there are states where you can get insurance that meets the letter of the 'law' but not actually cover you in case of an accident proves that it is entirely useless.

Alcohol is a MUCH more dangerous drug than weed ever was. The fact is that we were actually stupid enough to ban alcohol for several years, which caused ALOT more crime than it solved. Eventually the US will get our heads out of our asses and legalize pot, which will solve ALOT of petty crime. Just like prohibition, this nonsense of illegal drugs isn't fooling anyone. Only the lame ass cops really care about the 'problem' which is caused by their own insistance that they continue with the same propeganda from 80 years ago.

Also, murder is murder, it doesn't matter if you are mentally handicapped or a child. Oh well, once the Goldenbaum dynasty comes into power it will all be solved.

Woah, Karma Wave!

OT: That judge is like the judge from Batman Begins. Someone get 'ol Bruce.

In all seriousness that is a real shame. I'm pretty sure that the beheaded guys family is waiting for the re-trial. And heroin usage is getting kicked out of the U.S.A. I think the the person who declared it hates your uncle or is just a f&*#wit.

There's a line form the first men in black that I think about a lot: 'a person is smart, people are dumb panicky dangerous animals'.
