Civil disobedience. You have a duty as an American to challenge unethical and unsustainable laws. Such as the atrocious and disgusting "war on drugs" which is nothing at all but a means for the pharma, textile, and alcohol industries to keep lining their pockets and local law enforcement to keep using to frick citizens

That's the problem; we criminalize too many things. Then they turn around and use the crime data as justification for further need to get tough on crime.

Most people don't realize they commit felonies in everyday life, yet think they're justified in pointing the finger at others.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug. And better in many ways that nicotine and about in par with alcohol

Because of Alabama's laws. Change them if you don't like them. but bitching does nothing that I have ever seen.

I don't live in AL.

When you march on Montgomery, save me a sign in case I'm there too.

Dealing coke is disobedience too.

sounds like mister poor choice met mr. alabama's three strike law,

In the state of Alabama, the Habitual Felony Offender Act is the active “three strikes” law. The law requires that repeat offenders be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. ... The Habitual Offender Law in Alabama was passed in 1977 and removes any discretion during sentencing.Dec 3, 2013

Article says he has prior non violent charges.


Yeah, none he's been caught for. Something tells me someone with this much disregard for the law isn't a citizen we want out of jail.

They are all "non violent" at one point.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

I'm tired of "woe is me" stories of perpetual criminals.

It's obvious this guy wasn't going to stop dealing so he really left the courts no other choice.

I think this is the take home message. The whack jobs at the SPLC want everyone to think that he got this sentence because he was a black, first time offender.

The above quote is key, but don't let the fact the guy is a career criminal disrupt the narrative.

What are some felonies I don't realize I'm committing everyday?

I disagree with a lot of laws, but I'm not going to keep breaking theme over and over and over and put myself in a position to receive a sentence like this. This guy isn't some activist. He's a frick up.

It's pretty obvious locking every person up doesn't really affect crime all that much, yet you can see the same cheerleaders in this thread, some of which are employed by LE agencies.

Sounds like the dealer would have loved Vegas but likely not been very successful...not that many are mind you.
