EXACTLY MY QUESTION! (I know I just broke a Warpath Man Law, but had to) I get pissed when I hear about a celebrity or athlete who some how avoids mandatory minimum sentencing laws for drug offenses when they get caught. Justice may be blind, but it sure as shit isn't free in this country!
This guy repeatedly does things that put other people in danger, yet he's still free and will probably still be paid millions of dollars come fall. There are people out there on the street that get caught buying drugs for themselves and they end up being locked in prison for 5+ years, that's a problem. I don't want to get into a big political debate here about drug laws (my senior thesis in college made me sound like I'm pro-crack; I'm not but I hate the drug laws in this country) but I just want to see if people agree with me that Chris Henry should be locked up for a long time.
