LET CAPELESS DO JOB HE WAS ELECTED TO DO

To the Editor of THE EAGLE:- If District Attorney Capeless lets
"youthful" offenders off the hook with community service and does not
prosecute school-zone violations charges, what kind of a message does
that send to other youths in Great Barrington or Berkshire County?
Would it be OK with their defenders (Concerned Citizens for
Appropriate Justice) if youth from Pittsfield came down to their
parking lot to sell marijuana?

They can't do it in Pittsfield, first offense or not. They know they
will go to jail if there is a school-zone violation involved. I
thought Great Barrington asked the police to help clean up the drug
problem in that parking lot. Well, they did, and now the district
attorney must do the job we elected him to do. He said he would be
tough on the drug problems in Berkshire County. I'm glad he is
keeping his word.

Maybe CCAJ should spend some of the money it is spending on ad
campaigns against Capeless on a campaign to run for his job in the
next election. It is not an easy job and not always popular. Me, I'll
be voting for David Capeless.
