WASTING THEIR TIME

I am glad Laurens County law enforcement and DEA are "rounding up" the
cocaine dealers in the county. But let's take a reality break here. How
many of these individuals have been arrested for dealing before? How many
of them will be arrested again? How many of them will simply get a smack on
the wrist and probation? How many of them have been identified as "third
timers" according to the governor's "three strikes (and) you're out" rule?

Face it, chances are the law enforcement is only wasting time because these
people will be granted bond, free on the streets, and returned to doing
what they do, and likely, in the end, will end up with a plea bargain with
the local district attorney. I live in Warner Robins, and all the things
mentioned above happen everyday in Houston County. I know local law
enforcement is sick and tired of locking these people up, only to have some
smart lawyer get them out again.

There is nothing more to do for the working person but to just vote to
legalize everything; let the government tax it and generate revenue for the
state. Any other suggestions?
