Charles Manson is an actual criminal.

So are druggies. Manson was one too.

They are indeed people who use drugs who are also violent criminals.

And there are people who use no drugs who are also violent criminals.

Perhaps we should deal with violent criminals when we encounter violent criminals.

Let me ask you this.

If druggies should be kept away from normal people and kids via long prison sentences, should people who use alcohol be kept away from normal people and kids via long prison sentences?

Alcohol is a drug, and an addictive and deadly one at that, and there are most certainly violent alcoholics, I know this for a fact, because I grew up with one.

So, should those who consume alcohol be tossed in prison?
