CRINGES AT SENTENCE GIVEN IN POT CASE
10 Years
I must be old now, because when I read that a 24-year-old is given 10
years in jail I cringe.
When I read that the criminal had no prior arrest record, then I begin
to wonder.
When I read it's about marijuana, then I begin to wonder why. Heck, my
boy is a year older than that kid. Let's see, 24 years ago - I was 34
then. Hey, that's the age that kid will be when he gets out of jail.
Then I start to cry.
