Once he gets out of prison he will be a changed man. He will attend school and become a well educated citizen of society. He will save lives because he will become a doctor.
Your stupid to even believe any of this if you even thought that was a possibility. You know and I know that in reality this shit bag will come out in seven years only to commit far worse crimes, maybe even kill a baby since that is the new thing going on. These people should get more than just a blipping slap on the hand and stop taking our tax money for their stupidity.

Common-sense, community service picking up trash. Like you say the jails are nothing more than higher education for the gangs. So why waist money on drug crimes, sick people and there drugs, teach your children well, listen to them. Stop the demand, the dealers will always be here and we can afford the largestr per capita jail system in the world.

There is NO HOPE for the Mexican Youth. They imitate their gang banger parents and relative. they have no other image to emulate, so the end up drug addicted criminals. I say "No babies" for Mexican parents who have anything derogatory in their past.

Good for you! I'm glad to hear you changed, but the reality is that this guy has a really slim chance and it's about $250,000 of tax money to maintain an inmate. I am so tired of this. Maybe the justice system has failed us in such a way that people are just not that scared anymore to committing crimes.
