Happy 90th Birthday Leo Sharp .... Drug mule, going to jail

[Seymour]

It sounds like they were very lenient to me. I had an ex brother-in-law that got 17 years for 2 ounces. (he got out on parole after 6) ....of course he had been under surveillence for several months and had sold to an undercover narc .... but still theres a problem with the system when 2 oz gets 17 years and 104 lbs gets 3 years.

17 years? did he have priors?

17 years? did he have priors?

I'm not sure , it was 1981 and i was still in high school , but i think so. He was affiliated with some cuban group out of homestead Fla. but was busted in autaga county ala. .... they said he had sold 5000 qualudes 2 days before the bust and the tri county task force was pissed they only got 2 oz of blow.

They need to rethink this whole process. It isn't working. Does anybody think this old dude is the only senior citizen drug mule? The war on drugs is a lost cause. There's more people killed over drugs than by drugs.

I totally agree. The whole thing is madness. The consquences of the enforcement are far worse than the consequences of the drugs themselves. Locking up a harmless 93 year old man in a cage just shows how far gone we are as a society.
