Random ish.....

I have went back and forward with myself about this blog post.....its been heavy on my head for a few days now...and normally when I wanna share a thought I just do it.....via FB,Twitter or here on my blog......but this blog is different never felt insecure about sharing my thought or giving my opinion on something until now lol....its really not that serious but....I worry is I will be able to articulate my words to convey my perspective not to push my view on my readers....but to show my view and for the person to walk away feeling informed not necessarily agreeing with me but informed yah know?

Any who lets get to the point...so after a debate with some coworkers of mine about how I feel about our countries view on "Crime" in my opinion I think its safe to say the main focus has always been to rid the streets of drugs and drug dealers.....I mean even in school we had a program called "D.A.R.E".....Drug dealers not the users get the harsh jail sentence by far......so if I'm addicted to an illegal substance its not my fault? Its the drug dealers?.....I will stand by my view if you are a living adult in the year 2012 and you decide to pick up a crack pipe,pop some pills,smoke some weed, etc.....knowing the cause and effect of these drugs it is your own fault....and your punishment should be equally the same as those pushing the shit....I mean talk about rehabilitation....

So you give a man who is selling drugs a min of 10yrs in prison ask him to rehabilitate himself while incarcerated.....then once he gets out tell him he can not sale anymore drugs he needs to get a job and report to his parole officer and if he violates his parole he going back to prison.....Ok that seems fair right??....well ok now he is a convicted felon so now what oh ok.....Let me leave you guys with this story

A young man makes some decisions in life at a young age that has caused him to be a father of four and a felon all before the age of 35.......he is working at Walmart as a cart pusher making under $8.50 a hr.....he has custody of one of his children....he gets his checks garnished for child support.....because when he went to jail he was no longer able to pay child support and had now owes a huge amount of back child support.....he has always been a FATHER to his children they know him...and even tho he is getting child support taking out his check he still provides and spends time with his children.....he refuses to sell drugs again because he doesn't wanna ever leave his kids again.....so he enrolls into school applies for financial aid....finds out you can not be a convicted felon of selling drugs to get any form of government assistance for school.....what should he do? I mean he is rehabilitated right?

I'm sorry the system is not set up correctly the likely hood of a honest man rehabilitating his self after serving prison time......if far greater if he is actually given a fresh start....the bad ones will end up where they need to be.....but don't let the good ones surfer....shout out to my father for keeping his head up I LOVE YOU!!!!!
