are you from indonesia or something? they're about to line up some drug dealers in front of a firing squad. i didn't realize drugs should draw such a harsh sentence.
or that the cops get to decide someone is to die, sans trial, lawyer, etc. how chilling the some people hold other peoples constitutional rights, and civil rights, so cheaply.
what if it was you, arletta? if a cop looked at you and made the decision to give you a 'rough ride' in a van? but...that would be different, right? would neeever happen to you?

It's a never ending vicious cycle.. drugs go to the kids, whom turn may into future drug dealers whom sell it to more kids (if they don't overs dose).
One less loser drug dealer, in the world is not something I will lose any sleep over.. The guy was a POS that obviously was never going to become an "upstanding" citzen and didn't have any respect for the law.

His lack of respect for the law in no way excuses wrongdoing or excesses by the police. You should absolutely lose sleep that some in the pay of our govt think they can overstep our guaranteed rights under the constitution. And keep in mind, no drugs or illegal objects were in greys possession at the time of arrest. Id also remind you that many people redeem themselves after early mistakes.

Fifth Amendment
Main article: Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.[71]

Your rights don't go away after being arrested or because of previous run ins. There are no asterisks or fine print in our documents. They don't apply only to likable people.

Did you learn in us. History who the defense attorney was for the british soldiers accused in the boston massacre? That man was warned not to take their case, that they'd be found guilty, that hed ruin his reputation if he represented them.
John adams took the case, because he supported the rule of law that all are to be given a fair trial, all can face their accusers. He won the that case and it certainly didn't harm him.
Our freedoms are lessened and we are not really free, if they are limited to people deemed worthy.
Because....how small the numbers of the worthy could become.


As for the kids buying.....that's their moms fault according to some.

Who is Grey? We're talking about Gray who had a switchblade in his sock and 18 previous arrests in his pocket.

You continue to amaze all of us with your idiocy. But again congrats on capitalizing the first word of each sentence.
