Obviously not necessary to convict by the jury of their peers. Multiple trials, different jurors, unanimous verdicts, appeals process ... I guess they're all corrupt.

Why are they just picking on Coleman? Sounds like you think they should lock up everyone involved

I'm against jailing jurors for stupid verdicts; I don't suspect corruption on their part. The prosecutors should perhaps be investigated, though.

(whites only, goes w/o saying).

Not in my book.

if you're guilty as charged

What reason is there to think that any particular defendant was guilty as charged?

Sorry, dope is still illegal, the war is still on going and very few people really care.

The drug war has been waged for more than 35 years now. There is no less availability of drugs. Usage has stayed relatively constant, Jails are overflowing and will require an additional prison built per week to keep up. Spending has gone through the roof. Kids are still using. Cops are more and more being caught up in corruption. Can you tell me how WOD is winning? Can you give me one real victory by the warriors over the last 35 years? Comparing 35 years of WOD to the first year of WWII is like comparing a 35 year marriage to a honey moon. We have more than 2,000,000 people in jail. How many more will it take to win similar to the victory of WWII?

"The drug war has been waged for more than 35 years now."

And your dope is still illegal.

You folks sound just like Baghdad Bob. "All our dope is legal, the JBT's commit suicide on the walls of our crack houses, they cry blood it is clear that the have lost."

Nonresponsive. Imagine that.

"Nonresponsive. Imagine that."

Dude, take a stimulant, you're stuck. You keep forgetting, this is a dope of the morning thread...they're inherently nonresponsive. Nothing ever changes with or because of them.

Tommorow morning you or one of the other flying monkeys will post an equally innane article, then you'll follow it up with you're usual about how the war on drugs is lost...and your dope will still be illegal.

Dude, how much more unresponsive can you be? Don't you folks ever yearn for something a little different or meaningful in your lives then the same old tired posts every day?

You seem to not know what "nonresponsive" means; it has nothing to do with causing changes.

Exactly like your dope of the morning threads! Right on dude, you're starting to get it. These threads change nothing!

Heat oven to 350F. Heat margarine and chocolate ships in 3 qt saucepan stirring constantly, until melted. Beat in remaining ingredients until smooth; stir in nuts. Spread in greased rectangular pan 13"x9"x2".

Bake until center is set, about 30 minutes; cool completely. Cut into bars.

36 brownies.

I see you avoided addressing anything.

Have you any comments on the price of tea in china?

I really don't know why you're riffing off me to thumb your nose at the thread, and at the same time ignoring my point.

That seems kinda low-rent.

Not at all, dope is still illegal. That's what this thread is about isn't it?

"Have you any comments on the price of tea in china?"

No, tea is legally imported...much like my drug of choice, caffine.

They were guilty because they were found guilty by a unanimous verdit of a jury of their peers following a fair trial. Just like OJ was found not guilty by same.

Says nothing about whether they did the crime or didn't do the crime.

I'm guessing that you know about 1% of the details of this case, yet that level of ignorance doesn't stop you from calling the cops crooked and corrupt and favoring an investigation of the prosecutors, does it? What is it that you know that everyone else doesn't?

Have you seen the trial transcripts? Are you aware of the past history of those convicted? Why are you asking me about their guilt? They had their day in court and were found guilty. As far as I'm concerned, that fact is not changed because some cop stole some gas (later repaid) totally unrelated to this case.

You think this should count? Fine. And let's free OJ because Fuhrman is thought to be a racist.

You really do make it far too easy...because it's another dope of the morning thread and foolish is the staple.

You: "The War On Some Drugs continues to stain law enforcement. It must be ended."

Me: "Dope is still illegal."

See how we're all dancing around here impressing each other with our wit, talking about how this has failed or that has failed...and nothing changes.
