Unless he had magical telepathy powers, he had no business being incarcerated. He was a quad, with no ability to harm anyone. He required an intense amount of supervision just to stay alive. Of course the "rent-a-cops" at the private jail had better things to do than suction the mucus out of his lungs constantly.

The Judge ought to be disbarred.

Jamal Lewis

If he can recieve special treatment, why not this wheelchair bound person? Justice is not Justice anymore...

That's a seperate discussion. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other.

So only one of them broke the law?

I am unaware of a conviction for Jamal.

Even if there were, again, it's irrelevant.

In my Community he would be allowed to smoke marijuana without fear of arrest. He'd also be allowed to carry a concealed weapon, with a permit...although I doubt it would do him much good, what with him being a paraplegic and all.

Do you mean in your "ideal" community, or where you live that is allowed now?

Where I live now. (Mendocino County, California)

Cultivation of up to 25 plants is allowed with a Dr.'s recomendation- the letters sell for about 150.00, and are given for everything from cancer to warts. A Dr's not isn't really necessary, however, cause the Sheriff won't arrest mom and pop growers and the DA won't prosicute.

Also CWPs are given for the asking.

Sure sounds like the judge has an anti-gun vendeta going to me. Sad story but I can't resist, guns don't kill people, anti-gun judges do.

Now that's ridiculous. I wouldn't trust my life on those "Dr's"

Have you ever given any thought, why you have the highest levels of drug usage in the world, despite the generally severe penalties?

Because prohibition only serves to create criminals out of ordinary law abiding citizens. Prohibition creates a Black Market. Prohibition attempts to force one groups morality upon another.

is that really what our founding fathers had in mind, cause and effect execution for minor crimes? the jail is the one who is responsible for not taking care of him. if you have ever had anything to do with Quadriplegic you would know that a lot depends on how far the break is. so what was the point of sending him to jail anyway? to protect the comunity from him? to punish him by resricting his movement?

Glad to see that tax dollars and law enforcement manpower is being used to put away the really dangerous criminals!
