LEGAL SYSTEM NEEDS CHANGE

Dear editor,

I'm writing this letter in regard to our legal system.

Three simple words describe it: What A Joke.

Every Wednesday I read the Gazette to find that nice drug dealers and
sorry drunk drivers are given a slap on the hand at most.

Whether it's the judges or our government, change is drastically needed.

What kind of society are we going to have when the next generations
know no limits to their actions? Reading these pathetic sentences
issued by our judges makes one thing clear to me: whichever politcal
party will bring in a legal system that will punish, will get my vote.
