There are a million other things he could have sold online that wouldn't have resulted in 20 years in jail. Whether you agree with the illegal status of drugs or not, if someone choose to subvert the law, you can't expect law enforcement not to prosecute.
- tylersmith 8y agoYou should expect that they will, in the same way you should expect a serial killer to murder people, but they're still garbage that wouldn't thrive in a just world. You're absolutely correct that you should always expect people to sell you out for a little selfish comfort because most of them are trash.
- jMyles 8y ago> if someone choose to subvert the law, you can't expect law enforcement not to prosecute. Sure, that's fine. But it also obfuscates the more important point: I can expect (and I do expect) that a reasonable, mature society stop this idiotic practice in the first place. Refusing to learn from the failures of drug prohibition throughout history is one thing, but continuing a current and clearly failed experiment for an entire century is flabbergasting and childish. Who will be the last person who's life is ruined for no reason? Will it be this dude? Or someone in the same position tomorrow?
