Lock Up

Post Reply New Topic

IDK why, this show intrigues me. I am 57yo, living in rural Indiana, and one of the things I can say I am proud of in my life is that I have never even been inside a police station, but for some reason, this program catches me when it is on. Maybe I just cannot understand, and I try to understand everything, and everyone, obsessively.

Tonight I am watching and I see this guy about 30yo in prison after about 10 times being arrested, finally convicted for being arrested with over 120 grams of meth. He cannot understand why he gets 86 years this time for a sentence. Longer sentence than some murders get.

Really? He doesn't get it? The ingredients in meth? And he is selling it to people.

Isn't he therefore murdering multiple people? Slowly, in increments?

hiya Moebius welcome to the club the people like this man cannot think that far ahead, all they can see is the immediate sale, they know nor care about anything more than that. it is like what Tom Lehrer sang about werner von braun, ""Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down? That's not my department," said he. says the meth man- "once the rocket fuel is sold and I have my money, who cares about anything else? people die? not my problem."
