Raw, sad deal for Jason Washington

Post by TomCat88 » Thu May 02, 2013 7:26 pm

Two years in a federal prison for a medical marijuana grow and distribution. Just doesn't seem right to me when guys are getting out of jail in less time than that for crimes that involve physical harm to other human beings.

He was selling to people who didn't have cards, and federal sentences are a bitch compared to state and county sentences due to budgets.

What a ride

his deal wasn't raw. it's just the sentences for other dirt bags that beat, rape, and kill people are too lax. if you don't wanna spend two years in prison....don't do stupid ******. :-k

look at me! not in prison! wahoo! :shock:

That's where I'm at with it. And he didn't have to get into that game anyway. As I understand it, he already had a successful legitimate business. But he knowingly and purposely broke the law to make money. He might not be a dangerous or violent person but we can't pick and choose the laws we want to obey. And now he gets to be a felon for the rest of his life. Hopefully for his future's sake he'll be a successful entrepreneur again. It's his only hope at making a decent living again.
