ILL-FOCUSED WAR
ANOTHER CHILD'S future ruined as a casualty of an ill-focused drug war,
close to home. This one, 17 years old in Jackson, faces a maximum sentence
three times what most rapists actually receive. Sure, he'll probably get
probation, but his record is permanently marred. Can his parents afford his
tuition for college, which the government will now refuse to assist with?
When are the American people going to speak out against this tragedy? Maybe
when it's your son or daughter?
