MR E... I couldn't agree more. Seems like people with non-violent drug crimes are spending a lot more time in jail than violent criminals.

Clean out the 28% illegal alien population and there would be more room for criminals :)

Cutting back on police, fire and health depts. is the goverment's way of getting the new taxes passed. They know if residents are afraid, they will vote the taxes in. There are so many areas with fat to cut, like the perks offical's receive, big salaries, etc. That waste if cut, could save our necessary programs. But, as one can easily see, they want us to do without, not them. I guess we are not all in this together as they want you to believe. It's the old "do as I say, not as I do" plan.

Maybe we should be focusing on releasing non-violent drug users from these jails, before we release people convicted of violent crimes with ties to gangs. I have a feeling that some people in jail there have not been quite as dangerous.
I don't know, I'd rather have my neighbor snort a line of cocaine than have him hang out with a biker gang and try to run people off of the highway.
