half of them wouldn't be there if there were no drug prohibition

>>268348
True, but it's too profitable to end the drug war.

>>268348

This.

Time to legalize weed and cocaine.

>>268348
The other half wouldn't be there if they weren't murderers and thieves. What's your point?

We had 40,000 released in Riverside County, CA

Already reports from all over that prisoners released have already committed crimes

>>268363
one half are in jail for committing victimless crimes (or crimes against the state), the other half are there for committing actual crimes

States just need to speed up capital punishment. I mean, you're in prison, you shouldn't have the right to an appeal

With a decrease in executions, 500 are still on death row in CA alone with 17 executed in 2009, it is just fodder for liberals and their anti-death penalty stance

>>268363

That prison was invented to hold murderers and thieves, and not people who do the equivalent of getting drunk.

But you know, smoking weed is just like raping a girl and cutting off her head. Totally similar.

I'm so glad about this. I've had a a warrant out for my arrest for months. Failure/protest over DUI fines. Not likely to come knocking on my door any time soon are they?

>>268376
>one half are in jail for committing victimless crimes
>drug users

They're committing crimes against themselves by using drugs

>>268361

Legalize weed, and to all other drugs take the same approach Portugal is taking to the drug war.

Half of the prison population from victimless crimes will go away, number of people seeking treatment will double & drug dealers will lose so much power it will be lulzy to laugh at them.

>>268376
>Implying there wouldn't be victims if they couldn't get their fix when they got desperateness and penniless after years of blowing all their money on drugs.

>>268378
It'd be hilarious if you where accused of a crime that resulted in the death penalty, here's the kicker, you are innocent.

Faggots who want America to become like China just piss me off.

>>268384

>>268384
>implying you an commit a crime against yourself.

>>268384

Get off your fucking pulpit. Drug use laws need to change in this country.

>>268397
Well it shouldn't take 20+ years on death row before executing someone

Plus, with today's technology, there should be no innocent people sentenced

If you notice, all the innocent people that are being released were put in prison back in the 70's and 80's

>>268394

>Implying that doesnt happen now for a variety of reasons. Like gambling debt

Legalizing a substance doesn't legalize their actions. Assholes are always going to be assholes.

>>268397
buy more guns
enjoy murderers near you.
choose one.

>>268391
>number of people seeking treatment will double
Oh yeah, that will be great, spending millions of dollars on treatment instead of on prevention

>>268384

>>268394

>strawman argument

>>268397
>Faggots who want America to become like China just piss me off.

Well China does get shit done

Plus, executing prisoners in from of thousands in a stadium is a great deterrent

>>268429

See, the difference is the actual individual would pay for the treatment instead of the government blowing billions of dollars on ad campaigns that only make kids want to do drugs.

>>268402
Attempted suicide.

>>268445

Yeah and thats retarded too. Now name one more.

>>268441
>the actual individual would pay for the treatment

Of course a druggie isn't going to have money, so they either commit crime to get it or get someone else, government, to pay for it

>>268453
Teenage girl taking a picture of herself nude.

>>268453
I'm sure there are some loops holes in the law that makes ID theft/changing your identity illegal

>>268462
She's a filthy pedophile.

>>268455

The people you are talking about are the same people who are the homeless alcoholics. There are already tons of people out there doing the drugs you think cause them to be retards who cant keep a job to support their habit, Most people realize they're going to need money for their habits. Most people also have the cognitive skills to work and do drugs without either interfering with the other.

The ones robbing people on the streets are already there. Making things legal isnt going to change anything except cut down on the amount of people we arrest.

And guess what, the guy who robs someone for drug money still goes to jail.

>>268462

That's not illegal for the girl to do. Its illegal for the guy who has the picture of the naked girl. The naked girl is not reprimanded in anyways. Nice fail.
