Robert said: But we can't do it if we continue overcrowding the prisons with people who commit drug offenses and other victimless crimes.
Me: Victimless? Not all drug crimes are victimless. Quite the contrary. I spent the spring and summer living in pure hell from drug dealers in the corner house keeping us up all hours of the night, shooting up the block on a couple occasions and threatening to spray my house with bullets and burn it down. It was scary over here for weeks on end. My husband got mugged at gun point on our back steps and my son also got 9 staples in his head because some drunk mo decided to jump out of his car and whack my 14 year old over the head with a beer bottle. Ya think the guys that did this were stone sober? Think again. My family felt very victimized from all these experiences. Don't worry. None of the people that did that stuff are overcrowding any prisons. They never even got arrested and if they did some judge just let them off anyway.
