Now, Maryland State's Attorney Angela Alsobrooks is refusing to be interviewed to explain her comments. A spokesman said her ideas on decriminalization and violence are only theories that have not yet been proven by crime statistics.
Alsobrooks' comments fly against popular opinion. Decriminalization, which reduces possession of small amounts of marijuana to the level of a traffic ticket, is supported by a majority of Marylanders. The measure is particularly popular in Prince George's, where there is concern that the lives of too many African-American young men have been derailed by low-level, non-violent drug convictions.

Too many people anyway.A thinning out is a perfectly natural occurrence.Remember,biblically speaking the very day we die has been recorded already.Why should death be such a shock to us? Did God not know these people would die? Of course he did.
ReplyDeleteI like how the story presents the convictions as the problem, not the crimes! NOT
ReplyDeletebwahahaha...blaming weed? Yeah, sure.
ReplyDelete8:36, please change churches.
ReplyDeleteShe makes this statement with no facts because she has an agenda. Really pot smokers turn into dangerous murders? What planet is she living on?
ReplyDeleteFact is, the police may continue frisks. Possession of 10 grams and over remains criminal offense, as is distribution. It sounds like PG police have stopped frisking for weed, which is stupid.keep frisking, and they'll get more guns from criminals.
ReplyDeleteIts all about the money folks. Just think how many jobs are created by marijuana prohibition......corrections, court staff, prosecutors, cops, rehabs, and social services, just to name a few. Fines, court costs, monitoring fees, etc etc etc, helps pay for all these jobs, so without the pot smokers the legal system would suffer a huge hit.
