Okay, what were their prior convictions for?


does it matter?

if the prior convictions did not earn a life sentence, a simple possession charge now should?

The point is, it shouldn't matter. The final straw that lands you behind bars for life, should not be a bag of weed. Unfortunately it's possible for that very thing to happen.

The part that really burns my arse is that politicians like Obama constantly decry the disparity in race when it comes to things like drug charges and castigates local PD's for it yet he has done nothing to curb the issue regarding the most common drug people are arrested for. He's had 8 years to fix the issue, but the only thing he's done is commute some sentences and did nothing to prevent them.
