Serves him right for toking the demon weed.

You might want to advise your daughter not to smoke any pot. Wouldn't want her to get "served right".

Attention Drug Warrior yahoos:

I stand VINDICATED on calling prison sentences for marijuana a cruel and unusual TRIP TO THE ANAL RAPE CAMP.

When it HITS HOME to one of your friends or family members, maybe then you'll pull your heads out of your collective a$$es and realize just how much of an INJUSTICE the War on Some Drugs really is.

Or maybe not, comrades ...

Reality 101: Jail/Prison equals rape and humiliation.

Delivering weed is a definition that could cover half of our college population. Sharing/breaking down baggies/tossing a joint to a friend would fall into that category.

No, I am not condoning drug dealing, just would like to see the details before jumping on the "he deserved it" bandwagon.

[Joe Hadenuf]

With a good lawyer, he will own that County.

[Porterville]

Horrible, the kid needs to sue, rape is not a joke, the kid screwed up and they put him in a cell with a rapist.

[far sider]

Which would be worse?

Student in jail for drugs is raped,

or

Student in jail for rape is drugged?

[stuartcr]

If something is a felony in one state/country, and a misdemeanor in another state/country, is it morally wrong, less morally wrong, or what?

[AxelPaulsenJr]

Serves him right for toking the demon weed.

Glad to see that you've finally seen the light.

[r9etb]

Would you have posted this if the headline had been, "Student in jail for burglary is raped?"

Nope. Didn't think so.

You're grasping at straws here: this is not a good argument against the WOD. The rape would have happened regardless of why the boy was put in jail.

The War on Drugs: Delivering concubines to dangerous pyschopaths

[CyberAnt]

I'm sorry, but unless this jail is a tent in the woods, there are cameras all over the place. What bothers me is that this act was probably "on camera" and the officers did nothing about it.

Parents should get a good lawyer and have the camera equipment impounded - immediately.

I've worked in a jail, and I can tell you - these people are viewed at all times. There are only some areas which are not "on camera".

[xm177e2]

Whoever was running that jail should be charged with crimes against humanity. Putting a nonviolent 19-year-old in with a violent 35-year-old sex criminal is not a reasonable "accident." That isn't a prison, it's a rape camp.

[joebuck]

The war on drugs has:

caused a signifigant destruction of our 4th amendment rights;
Funded the proliferation of street gang violence resulting in hundreds of murders every year;
Resulted in the deaths of dozens of innocent bystanders, many at the hand of law enforcement officers;
Incarcerated millions of non-violent people;
Caused staggering increases in property crime by people stealilng to pay the artificially inflated price of contraband;
Cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars in enforcment and incarcertaion costs;
Created widespread distrust and open contempt for government by many;

What the war on Drugs has NOT done:

decrease the production, importation or consumption of drugs one iota. Drugs are cheaper and more plentiful than ever before.

[meadsjn]

Serves him right for toking the demon weed.

I don't use or condone the use of drugs or alcohol.

But people like you should die.

[bvw]

This IS the result of the "screw you, dog" attitude of the Drug Warriors. Turns a man's heart cold.

[bvw]

As far as I am concerned prison is "cruel and unusual" punishment for anyone but violent criminals. Flogging reforms the body's desires without the degradation of rape and incarceration. And that rape and daily degradations never, almost never, reform. Better the whip and the flail.

[Fraulein]

Why put a 19-year old non-violent 'criminal' in the same cell with a sex offender? Makes no sense!!! It also makes no sense that in this country it is perfectly legal to get stupified drunk and yet it's illegal to get high on a little weed. Go figure. In many ways a drunk person is also potentially more dangerous. BTW, my father was a hardcore alcoholic all of his life -- and he ultimately died from alcoholism. In other words, when you've seen all that I've seen, marijuana strikes you as being pretty harmless.

[sit-rep]

That deserves a big FU buddy... Just because someones smokes a little weed, does not mean they are subject to faggots and their abuse.

IOW, I think you're an asshole...

[LittleJoe]

Serves him right for toking the demon weed

ROTFL!
We showed him!
We took a pot headed college kid and sent him off to the university of crime and mayhem to be raped.

I'm sure this will make him a better person...Just gotta love this war!
