I’m so sick of generally bummery around town I’d support life for theee guys who get arrested every other week. Id give them a release tomorrow if they renounced citizenship and bounced. We need to buy an island for misfit toys.
So I'm confused... did he commit murder? If so, we all agree he should get life in prison correct?
That fatigue is caused by a system that isn't working.
Yes, he commit murder. When they were finally able to catch up with him, he just so happen to have weed on him too. So he got charged and convicted for the murder, then they added another life sentence for the weed. He got life for the weed for being a violent repeat offender.
Crazy you can't Google the real story. Pitchforks are the order of the day for these purveyors of propaganda.
So why is this even a story if that little detail was eventually going to come out?
Without looking into it more yet, I’m guessing because he probably got life for the murder and life without parole for the weed. So if he didn’t get the weed charge he may of had a chance to get out in the future. But that’s just my guess.
Post that link. Haven’t seen anything like that. Also, he does not history of violent crime, from what I’ve read. Maybe you got the real story or you full of schit. TBD
The system that is overcrowding prisons with the wrong people? Or you think they should just keep locking people up for minor offenses?
After I read the article, I looked the dude up...keep his *** locked up...sorry
Mississippi man imprisoned for life over marijuana possession
On Thursday, Allen Russell, who was sentenced to life in prison on marijuana possession, lost his appeal in Mississippi's highest court.theblackwallsttimes.com
How are we here as a civilized society? A vast majority of Americans don’t care who smokes recreationally and this man goes to jail for LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE over a victimless “crime”. The same crime people are making millions for in this same country.
Yes, the man has a history of nonviolent crimes, and yes the burglary was considered to be nonviolent before. Regardless, this is extremely excessive and is not in the interest of Justice.
Isn't the goal of prison to deter people from repeating crimes? I wouldn't say it's doing a very good job of that.
No, it’s not. But I agree that we do need prison reform.

While I'm not saying the ruling is just/unjust, what you describe above is not accurate. The controlled substance possession was not the root cause of the sentence.Mississippi man imprisoned for life over marijuana possession

Read the ruling.
Looks like this checks out according to ms. gov. Very weird to leave that part out.
Checks out
Should be a lesson to all of us. Everything has a built in bias. Absurd they left that out.
