Plus all the hard users will actually get help and be isolated from mainstream society if it comes to that. I hope to donate to LEAP sometime soon.

I've heard people here say we're desensitized to sex, and while that is probably true, we're even more desensitized to violence... sad, isn't it?

They should get life in prison with no parole. The prison guards should beat them up everyday with their billy clubs. They should get taze sessions. Endless pain for the rest of their lives.

Zimmerman makes the news mostly because he shot and killed an older teenager in the quiet suburbs. If this had happened in some ghetto in the City of Orlando, nothing would have happened. People would be asking, "George and Martin who?". This has nothing to do with race, crimes happening in the ghetto don't make the news because it's not shocking, it's more like no crap, it is the ghetto after all.
Six people were murdered during a 24 hour period in South Central Los Angeles earlier this summer - and that made the news.
