I have, and I said in a few posts yesterday, thank you very much, that there
should not be any dissimilar sentencing. It should all be the same, regardless
of skin color, etc. Nor do I favor any lesser sentencing because you are a
minority. Do the crime, do the time. Clear?

Yes, it is discrimination, and I do not agree with it. Similar crime, similar
time. I sound like a broken record, this is the 95th time I said this in the
past two days!
I have a feeling that this is mostly about anti-drug laws, but that is another
debate.
