Blind, Deaf and Dumb Justice

from - Buck

It is a shame what passes for law in this country today.

Take a look at this load of crap.

An appeals court on Monday upheld the 55-year mandatory sentence of a Utah man who carried a firearm while dealing pot, a penalty that had been decried as unconstitutional by dozens of former judges and prosecutors and as unjust by the sentencing judge himself.

Personally I think his arrest and conviction was facilitated by other dealers in the area. After all, he sold 8 ounces for $350.00. The market can't tolerate a whore.

Sixty days for child molesting is outrageous but 55 years for having a gun strapped on your ankle while selling what must have been oregano is just as outrageous.

Reckon O'Reilly will take up the case?

From the 60-days for child molesting link:

Judge Edward Cashman says he issued the light sentence because the defendant, Mark Hulett, could not receive sex offender treatment while in prison.

Why the hell not? No wonder this country is so screwed up.
