        The deep purpose of the #DrugWar is precisely this -- a largely racist war on blacks, discretion to cops and prosecutors, disenfrachisement, and feeding into the PrisonState.http://tokyotom.freecapitalists.org/2014/11/14/drug-war-racist-breeds-violence/ …

        It's almost the exact opposite story. Except the white guy with the machine gun gets one less year than the black guy with some weed. Did I mention that the white guy had weed too? Neither of these were violent crimes. Our punitive criminal justice system needs an overhaul.

        > Our punitive criminal justice system needs an overhaul. Try considering that it may be performing its actual purposes very well. Like how all the blowback at home and abroad to what our Defense Establishment generates does a great job of ensuring continuing looting.

        yes. that's correct. and it's "purpose" as you point out, IS THE PROBLEM. when I say "overhaul" I mean everything, starting with community oversight+interaction, b/c that's were REAL issues 4 THE COMMUNITY can be addressed. like the 2 faces of justice depending on color, 2 start.

        This is one reason why I hate trying to vote for judges. It's nearly impossible to find out what their philosophy on sentencing is.

        This is why decriminalization is necessary. But not sufficient.

        MJ should be decriminalized or legal (esp. medical use) everywhere. But he had 2.89 POUNDS (illegal even in Oregon) in Mississippi & was charged with trafficking rather than possession. Racial stop? Probably. 8 years too much? Yes. Did he know he was breaking the law? Absolutely.
