Ah, the Prohibitionist Mind.
Don't worry, I'm sure a rapist or someone convicted of attempted murder can be released back onto the streets in order to make room in our prison system for this real criminal...
Lets try to be consistent.
Should we ignore immigration law because there are rapists out there that need to be in prison?
Should we ignore theft because there are rapists out there that need to be in prison?
The man broke the law should we ignore it because there are rapists out there that need to be in prison?
Fine, you disagree with that particular law, but there are people that disagree with punishment of illegal immigration, theft and, believe it or not, rape.
I don’t think the man should get 30 years but I do think he should be punished and figure out who his supplier is and wack them too, if it is a licensed provider, two wacks, a revoked license. Opiates kill more people than traffic accidents, not really a victimless crime.
