I generally agree. This reminds me of the days when there were stills making alcohol during prohibition. Not that I was around then.

And these 2 scumbags get a whole 6 months for raping a fellow cllege student.Amazing.



ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - Two former Albany football players pleaded guilty
Wednesday to raping a female student in a campus dorm room last fall.

Lorenzo Ashbourne of Smyrna, Ga., and Julius Harris of Riviera Beach, Fla., each pleaded guilty to a felony count of rape. They are scheduled to be sentenced in August to six months in the Albany County jail, 10 years probation and will be required to register as sex offenders.
Prosecutors said the two freshmen football players raped an intoxicated classmate in their room on the Albany campus in October. Both men were expelled from the university.

A rape charge against a third former Albany player, Charles Guadagno of Fallston, Md., is still pending.

Met is an incredibly dangerous and addictive drug, a huge problem in KY, dangerous to those that use it, make it, the neighborhoods the labs are in, the police/fire that bust the labs, the debris left over from the labs and dumped locally.

Sad about both of them to get involved in that - once into met, you can't get out.

Pretty sad Mark.

Youd think rape/child molestation would carry a heavier sentence than a few skunks selling and smoking some meth. I think the sentence is excessive. No need to put drug abusers in jail, they should be forced into a rehabilitation unless they have other violent offenses.

I think 10 years is a mandatory minimum in KY for manufacture of meth.

Second offense while on probation, caught manufacturing & distributing--seems like a fair sentence.

Maybe she'll get to particpate in one of the prison programs that work with inmates on retraining ex-racehorses. Shake You Down is enjoying prison life and benefiting from just such a program in FL.

I don't know, I am kinda on the fence on this one, the making and selling is pretty bad. Who knows how many young, niave girls (and guys for that matter) they could have convinced to try this stuff. There are many at the track that just don't have the experience or street smarts when they first start out, and I am sure they would have been easy targets. I believe they both are repeat offenders, if I am mistaken please correct me, but am pretty sure this isn't the first brush with the law for them.

Any predator should receive the harshest penalty....selling drugs,raping.molestations,spousal abuse....and a host of other crimes.

Screw 'em.

It's not their first offense and they were selling it. I wouldn't care if they smoked, snorted or injected their own eyeballs with it if that's all they did. But it's very cheap and a huge problem drug with kids.

There are better ways to make money.
