Well if you lived in a state that enforced the death penalty then you wouldn't need to house Serial killers, Kidnappers, terrorists along with Drug dealers, Corporate thieves, drunken manslaughter, and armed robbers. They'd be dead. I think you are over exaggerating on the life sentence. He's an athlete he'll be out of jail in 2 years getting a second chance to play football and resume his second career of shooting up bars and selling drugs.

Jolly was arrested Friday morning and has been charged with possession of over 400 grams of a controlled substance. He faces up to life in prison if convicted.Jolly, an EX-packer from 2 years ago, has been arrested again for the same she-it.That being said, can someone please explain to me how getting a possible life sentence for this lame act, is the same as giving a life sentence for someone who whacks 50 people as a serial killer.

He won't get a life sentence for this act.

That maybe true about the Death Penalty but when the Crimminals have more rights than the Law Abiding Citizen is out of this universe and all the appeals they go thru hell they have lived a full life wasting mine and your tax money but who says anything if you do you are a right wing death nut, I believe in the death penalty and I belive that if this yahoo gets life then he dam well deserves it and he should if it's drugs again he is pathetic a ex packer guess he couldn't make it in the NFL must have been a wasted pick or a big ol bust from college, Given a chance and whats he do pisses it away sad.....

A guy I knew years ago was sentenced to life for "trafficking weed" right here in Indiana! This is completely stupid, and I agree the system is broken! Prisons are corporate profit centers now! This is why the 5 grams of crack cocaine automatic 5 years is being repealed. Legalize pot and solve the worlds problems now!

I agree 100%. California had its chance in the last elections to legalize pot. Heck even my 84 year old dad voted for the legalization. Not only would it reduce the amount of people in prison it would also generate tax dollars. It would have been a win/win situation.

How would legalizing pot solve the world's problems?

The War on Drugs has been an abject failure for nearly a century. It's well past the time for new strategies to be employed.I'm not aiming any of these comments at you, No.4. How's the hip?

I agree with you on many of your points but legalization of pot is just a small step forward. There are global problems that are of grave concern to all of us.

My new hip is feeling great. Thanks for asking Jack.

You seem to have your favorite drugs to be legalized. I drink and smoke so I guess that makes me troublesome to you. Smoke your pot and do your nose candy and have a blast but don't try to tell me what drugs are unacceptable. Different strokes for different folks bozo.
