In a Libertarian world she would have been allowed to continue drugs without legal intervention.

Reminds me a little bit of the RNC story of the guy thrown in jail and he prayed “God get me out of this and I’ll serve you.” IIRC his sentence could have been 50 years.

The judge got up and said something like “I have no idea what is compelling me to do this - but I sentence you to 5 years.”

Once he got out he now is helping out inmates. With a half-way house?? And the guy that works with him is the cop that arrested him!

My sister was saved in prison. What we thought was a terrible thing that she had to go through (she deserved it) - God turned it into the best thing. God works in mysterious ways!

Much better than this lowlife piece of pond scum Andrew Golden who goes around videotaping cops trying to get them fired and succeeds thanks to balless rats..

My dad, now in his late 80s, was a municipal cop in a university town about an hour from downtown Pittsburgh. His career spanned from the mid 1960s to the mid 1990s, covering the hippy protests onwards.

He was one of the last "beat cops" who didn't mind walking a patrol, and he knew all the merchants, professors, clergy etc. When we were kids it was annoying because we couldn't go shopping, to the county fair, etc. without him being stopped every 10 yards or so by people that wanted to talk to him. When he retired, the local paper had a front page story about his 30 year career and service to the community.

For weeks afterward, the paper received numerous letters about my dad, and I was surprised at more than a few from people he had arrested who were grateful for the experience having redirected their lives.

The world would be a much better place if our corrupt media would pay more attention to stories like this.
