Gang Leaders Protected Behind Bars

I Found A Mountain Lion In My Garage
And I'm Keeping Him
When I first found him in the garage I could hardly believe that a mountain lion had come all the way down into the valley and was here in my garage. He wasn't defensive at all,in fact,he looked as if he wanted me to pet him. So thats just what I did. It was like finding a stray cat on the porch who's hoping you will feed him and allow him to stay. Thats what got to me,his ability to express to me that he wanted to stay. So I told him he could,but he would have to stay in the garage. I let him know that if any of the neighbors were to see him they would become frightened and most likely call the authorities,demanding that he be taken back to the mountains. He seemed to understand,so far I've had no trouble at all out of him.

Here's something I bet you didn't realize: Petty criminals want to go to prison to learn to be better criminals. That goes double for drug "criminals," or simple users.

You see, all drug syndicates are run from prisons. The bigger and badder the prison (i.e. Pelican Bay), the higher up the gang hierarchy goes. County jail or city jail equals small-timer gang wannabes. Federal prison is a big step up. Pelican Bay or San Quentin's death row -- there it is, drug lord heaven.

And we're gleefully building, at enormous taxpayer expense, more prisons, bigger prisons, more "secure" prisons. But all we're actually doing is giving the drug networks a safe place from which to coordinate drug runs, kill off competitors, murder at will, victimize the public.

Yep, that's right. I'm not going to name the specific gangs and the specific prisons that act as the gang headquarters for these groups. No, that would put me in a ticklish position. But rest assured, current drug laws punish small-timers (or even innocent bystanders in some cases), create a taxpayer-funded training ground for more serious criminals, corrupt the prison security apparatus and guards themselves, help drug lords and keep the rest of us in a state of perpetual fear.

Legalize drugs, and it all ends. Instantly. No money. No gangs. No punks. No prisoners. No prisons, or very few. No fun.

Think about it.
