That's not true. They just get caught twice as often as we do. Spark 'em if you got 'em, bitches! Cool

Ever wonder why?

It's because of police flagging black neighborhoods as "high crime" zones and patrolling them constantly

Well, obviously my attempt at making a joke to lighten the mood was unsuccessful.

There's probably a reason why some black neighborhoods are labelled as "high crime" zones. Probably because the ones labelled as such ARE "high crime" zones.

Also, white people use marijuana just as much as the blacks do, but blacks are incarcerated at a nearly double rate

The drug war is a closeted war on people of color.

Just like the war on terror is an excuse to terrorize Middle Eastern children and strip us of our civil liberties (NDAA)

Actually its closer to 58%. If you count immigration violations that puts us at 68% of the prison population as nonviolent offenders.
hint: you were looking at jails (state) not prisons (federal)

I agree with Cube here. I am anti-death penalty,

Do you believe pedophiles can be reformed?

What the hell does this have to do with anything? You know they don't execute people for pedophilia right?

But there are some criminals that can never be reformed

Life in prison would be the solution here if you are against the death penalty.

Who's gonna pay for that? Some of those bastards live up to their high nineties

If prisons weren't 70% filled with nonviolent drug offenders, funding wouldn't be an issue.

Most people in prison are violent offenders and/or have been convicted of crimes in which the offender would likely commit a violent crime.

Wrong.

48% of prisoners are non violent drug "offenders"
http://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=1118

That leaves 52%

I'm sure there are more than 3% of "offenders" locked up for downloading unauthorized digital goods (software piracy)

You're relying on government numbers? When has the government ever released an accurate number on anything?

You see no conflict of interest in the government releasing numbers relative to their own policies?

"Hey, Yeah! All that money we printed solved everything! Look at the 5.8% employment rate that we ended up with because of our policies. The economy is doing great now because of us! We're the saviors of the world!" - US Government

Really the number of non violent drug offenders is north of 60%.

I can easily justify based on my male 'feelings' how I am entitled to rape you as my fuck toy.

Then you need to seek psychotherapy

Piracy is generally a a civil offense, not a criminal one so there are likely zero people in jail for piracy. Also those statistics fail to account for people who have committed violent crimes in the past or whose crimes are often associated with violence (but were not specifically convicted of doing something violent)

Ending another life when it clearly did not endanger the woman's own, not to mention her own child.

You call this 'progress'?

It's more like dereliction of responsibility and wanting to exercise 'rights' without reprocussions. You have no more right to end your child's life then I have to end yours.

Your 'feelings' are irrelevant. I can easily justify based on my male 'feelings' how I am entitled to rape you as my fuck toy.

Deluded bitches and their lack of common sense sound like a bigger problem. Man or woman, no one respects those who cannot pull their own weight. Have you tried being more of a woman?

I have known plenty of powerful and strong women, the kind that commands the same respect as any grandfather or father when families are together in the household. None of them were are frivolous or mouthy like a little girl - in other words, like you.

You should also note that it is near impossible to get life insurance on someone who is in prison because of the huge amount of risk the person will be killed in prison

This is powerful. I think the figure is close to 58% but it could well be 70% and exceed to the mid nineties before the US wakes up and realizes, only then, it will be too late.

There are more black people locked up today than were slaves
Huffington Post

It's pretty funny how the police won't touch armed violent crime in black neighborhoods but would absolutely perform blatant violations of the Fourth Amendment on minorities by stating the "probable cause" as "smelling marijuana". I mean, if they really cared about their safety, they could start with cleaning up DC.

Learning the troll avoidance button :)

Mixed feelings, it sounds like the child was suffering
Does that mean that someone else even their mother has the right to let them die
One should die of natural causes this is in a sense a murder but the intentions were pure, so on the line.
That said in this case it is ok with me I just hope it's not a slippery slope on legal precedents.
