I'm sure you know this, but if you are convicted of a felony in America, you are totally screwed.

Hey, here's a thought - don't commit a felony.

My point was that we punish people punitively for life for reasons that are often not worthy of such draconian sentences. And prison sentences affect the African-American disproportionally.

Again, no one twisted their arms and told them to become felons. Actions = consequences. I realize many pansy arses in this nation have forgotten this, but I haven't.

Do you know what constitutes a felony nowadays?

It shouldn't be a racial discussion though

I agree, but Holder is the one who brought up race.

Hell, lets let the Gitmo terrorists vote too.

Posted by Message PanhandleTigah AG Holder wants felons to vote primarily because of race [quote]Do you know what constitutes a felony nowadays?/quote]Pretty sure I do...there's murder, manslaughter, rape, burglary/robbery, drug possession/trafficking, assault and battery, extortion, etc. What have I missed Ole Wise One?

Correct. And one of those is not like the other.

And that one constitutes over a third of all felony convictions.


But, we're getting off topic and while I disagree w Holder, it's a conversation that America needs.

Also, it's humorous that a board that is typically so "anti-govt" and "anti-cop" is so pro punishment.

See my sig homie.

If they are Dems they can vote after they're dead.
