You're talking out of school. Addressing the problem by throwing down your personal beliefs as fact puts you in place were you can't be taken seriously. Quite frankly, you sound stupid. Your zeal does not give your opinion merit no matter how strongly you feel. Regurgitating things you learned in dare does not strengthen your position.
The scary thing is we have people in a position to influence laws who hold the same uninformed opinion as yourself.

a bit of overkill, eh?
a sane sentence would run between 7-20 yrs?
the dealers who are selling that, will just be more careful, they won't stop sellin...
the courts are dumber than a box of rocks

shite he was selling was probably cut with half-baked fentanyl and rat poison.
Pretty much attempted murder by scum distributors of these products, IMO.
Because it's good business practice to kill off potential repeat customers? Yeah, that makes sense.

Glad he is behind bars for a long time.

We have dealers because there is a huge market for drugs. Lock one up, another steps in because the opportunity will still be there

There are more effective ways to fight drug use than mass incarceration.
The mass incarceration efforts in this country were never about the good of the country or its citizens. It was, and still is about keeping for-profit prisons full in order to maximize profit for the government and people/companies that own the prisons. The US won't legalize drugs until they are certain that they can get more money by legalization than they currently do by extorting money from the most vulnerable members of our society. It's sad that people believe this initiative was ever about anything other than money. The US government doesn't give a shite about it's citizens which is why they will continue to use violence to kidnap and incarcerate and ruin the lives of it's non violent citizens all under the guise of "we're helping you". Wake the frick up people.

Well, he was rich so he was able to buy down his sentence with cash. A couple hundred thousand per kiddo if I remember correctly.

This sentence certainly doesn't fit the crime. Nobody forces people to buy/abuse drugs. Legalize and regulate it, but don't waste taxpayer's money on putting a guy behind bars for 50 years for a nonviolent drug charge.

“I am aware that the change in the sentencing provisions is not the only factor involved in the rise of heroin, but I also know that when the penalty was life imprisonment, we didn’t have as many heroin dealers and users on every street corner selling this poison to our citizens,” the judge said.
Judge is clueless. The spike is directly related to the feds clamping down on oxycotin which jacked up the price. Heroin is a cheaper alternative.

They changed the way oxy is manufactured. It can no longer be injected or smoked. The spike (if you even want to call it a spike) is directly related to new oxy.
Fun fact, profits fell by nearly 80% when the change was made.
Remind me again who is the real criminal...

There are a lot of affluent people that use drugs. Don't be fooled into believing it's only "thugs". Some of the very people who are diehard proponents for stiff drug penalties/laws use drugs in a recreational capacity. All of this is politically motivated.

The NOLA city council just votes 7-0 in favor. Marijuana possession is officially decriminalized.

Why do I get the feeling that they will find a way to frick this up.

Legalize and regulate heroin?
This is the logical end of libertarianism taken to an extreme. I agree that grown folks ought to be free to do what they want if it isn't hurting anyone else.
Heroin is one of those issues that makes that position tough to defend. Personally, I would be okay with it if they could find a way to keep me from paying for these choices. But, honestly, we already are, plus the law enforcement/corrections infrastructure on top of it.
So, I'm torn on:

You're shitting me right?
No - those in the legalization movement are not. And, it shouldn't be dismissed out of hand.
Cocaine, meth, ecstasy, heroin - these are dangerous drugs, but freedom is a two way street. If I want to be left alone, I have to accept I might have to leave others alone.

So are you cool with paying for people who smoke or sit around all day pouring cheeseburgers in their face?

Not really. But I am, anyway. There is no police force going around trying to stop people from doing that, amping up the costs even further though, right?
You'll at least agree that makes those choices cheaper for me right now, doesn't it?
ETA: Did you read everything I wrote?
