meth heads and the rest of that trash are a problem, they steal, they do nothing for society,they lie,they ruin other peoples lives, they cause damage in break ins, they steal copper wire and sell it for money fro their habit, if the local law would step up rounding these people up and the State and Feds would blow the panga boats outa the water and wage war on the drug cartels we might get a handle on this crud, but it seems the war on drugs is just a fairy tale.

Now, just do that once a month and we will see the scum flee our county.

The problem here is that, due to prison over-crowding, the jails have a revolving door. Either some of these people will not go to prison or some other prisoners will be released to make room for them.


The list of reasons for arrest is part of the problem. Why are we continuing a full-scale war on drugs? Tossing the book at meth users is OK Although it won’t do much to solve that problem, it at least takes those trouble-makers off the streets. But spending our tax dollars arresting, prosecuting and imprisoning pot-head slackers is almost a total waste of money.
