This nation has lost it's way. No one part of the country is safe as long as retarded laws are in place.
Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny.

Just four cookies and you're out - for 25 years

His offense was the theft of four cookies from a restaurant. His punishment was jail for 25 years to life.
Now an appeal court in California has upheld the sentence for a homeless man who had fallen foul of the state's "three strikes" law, under which anyone committing three crimes is liable to spend between 25 years and life in jail.
Kevin Weber has served more than five years for the theft in 1995 of the four cookies, but a Santa Ana appeal court has decided he is a career criminal and the sentence should stand. He may not be released until 2021.
The case is the most extreme example of California's three strikes law since a man was jailed for 25 years in 1994 for grabbing a slice of pizza from some children. His sentence was reduced on appeal.

Sex offenders lists aren't just for pedohiles and child molesters. If I were arrested back when I was 19 and my wife was 17, it'd be the same thing.
Here in the great liberal state of Mass, the age of consent for females is 17.

in some states, you can be 'forced' to register as a sex offender if you get caught peeing in an alley.

Grind is awesome, and St. Pattys day isn't winter, especially at 75 degrees.
Um... St. Patty's day is winter, the equinox isn't until 5 days after St. Patty's day. So, it is winter even at 75 degrees.
